Paris Saint-Germain consider Neymar’s capture practically a done deal, says CatalunyaRadio, generally seen as a reliable source. The show Club de la Mitjanit say the transfer is “95% done.”
Barcelona will not ask for a euro less than the 222 million release clause, and no players are expected to be part of the deal.
Key to the deal is the fact that Neymar’s father, Neymar, Sr., will earn a hefty commission fee for the transfer. The father, who acts as the star player’s agent, is thought to be in for an even bigger fee than the 40 million he received when the Catalans signed him from his hometown club, Santos FC.
With Neymar’s father rumored to be due a fortune, and perhaps, some additional non-monetary considerations… and PSG rumored to be ready to pay the 222 million… the only person who can stop this is the player himself.
Again according Club de la Mitjanit, FC Barcelona is trying to convince the forward to remain at the Camp Nou, but Neymar has not committed to staying.
