We thought the rumors of a return of Neymar to Barcelona extinct, but the Catalan media have more than one trick up their sleeve. La Liga president Javier Tebas deemed the hypothesis "totally impossible" last week. Pessimism was internal with the looming economic crisis, and Barça coach Quique Setien had made no secret of it. And now Mundo Deportivo made its front page on the PSG striker on Monday, who would be "ready to do anything" to find the club he left in 2017. The Brazilian, linked to Paris until 2022, would have refused a contract extension with a colossal signing bonus of € 100m. The Spanish daily says that Neymar (28) is ready to cut his salary in half to facilitate his transfer to Barça. Confined to Brazil, the Parisian, just crowned champion of France, will no longer replay with PSG this season. Unless the Champions League comes to an end.
