Barcelona waiting for Neymar to terminate PSG contract, will offer a one-year deal

The Neymar to Barcelona updates continue to keep on coming. Only minutes earlier, reports in France suggested that PSG were in no way going to terminate the Brazilian’s contract so that he can join Barcelona for free.

It was suggested that such a move would cause problems for the French champions with respect to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules.

Now, though, journalist Marcelo Bechler, who had broken the news of Neymar’s world-record transfer to PSG back in 2017, has come up with a fresh report suggesting that Barcelona are waiting for the forward to terminate his contract with PSG.

The update suggests that the Blaugrana are optimistic about their chances of re-signing the 31-year-old superstar.

They believe that he will secure the termination of his deal with PSG and reject proposals from Saudi Arabia.

Barcelona to offer only a one-year deal

Earlier today, reports in Spain suggested that Barcelona would be handing Neymar a €13 million per season contract for two years with an option for an additional twelve months.

However, the report from Marcelo Bechler states that the idea is for the La Liga champions to hand their former superstar only a one-year contract on a low salary.

It has already been established that the former Santos FC wonderkid would be willing to make a sacrifice with regard to his wages in order to secure a move back to Barça.

The Catalans are understood to have been negotiating with Neymar since last week, with the idea of a contract with a low salary in the first year, following which improvements would be made.

And, all this seems to be generating a lot of optimism within the club about re-signing the Brazilian international, although manager Xavi Hernandez is yet to be fully won over.

Even then, there appears to be movement behind the scenes as far as Neymar’s return to Barcelona is concerned and a move will very likely take place, provided he and PSG agree to terminate his contract.
