Will Neymar return to Barcelona after all? Saudi Arabian club ready offer to sign PSG star and loan him to Camp Nou giants

  • Neymar could end up at Barcelona
  • Saudi Arabian club want to sign Neymar
  • Will loan Neymar to the Catalan club

WHAT HAPPENED? Neymar has reportedly communicated to Paris Saint-Germain his intention of leaving the club this summer as the player eyes a return to Camp Nou. But given Barcelona's financial situation, they might not be able to afford the Brazilian's services.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: According to Sport, a Saudi Arabian club could play an important role in sending Neymar to Barcelona. They are plotting a move to sign him from PSG this summer and then loan him immediately to the Camp Nou side. The player's salary will be borne in a three-way structure where the Catalan giants pay a certain percentage while the rest will come from PSG and some sort of a commercial agreement that could see Barcelona play a friendly match in Saudi Arabia.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Neymar was also linked with a move to Chelsea after he decided to leave the Ligue 1 champions but Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly rejected the move. PSG are likely to demand a transfer fee between £50 million ($64m) and £80m ($102m) for the Brazilian.
