PSG reportedly offer Neymar to Barcelona

It is always a headache for clubs when a player within their ranks approaches the end of his contract. It is a problem that raises the very question causing ripples in the football world. For instance, how do you solve a problem like Kylian Mbappe?

If Paris Saint-Germain’s top hierarchy knew the answer, they would rest easy. PSG chief Nasser Al Khelaifi is at his wit’s end trying to find answers to the knotty question.

The furore caused by Kylian Mbappe and his refusal to sign a new contract is yet to die. The French international refused to sign a new contract, and it is giving Paris Saint-Germain grey hairs. The Qatari owned club are trying to find ways to keep Mbappe at the club with some ridiculousas coming up.

The arrival of Lionel Messi at the club has not convinced Mbappe that PSG has a project worth risking his future.

Neymar as bait to keep Mbappe in Paris?

The dream trio of Mbappe, Messi and Neymar has given many wet dreams, but its actualisation hasn’t proved to be the expectation. 

The arrival of Messi at PSG gave the club the status of the most dangerous attack in the world, but they are yet to hit the heights. 

Pochettino is yet to find a formula to unlock the potential these three great players represent. 

It is currently a problem that gives the club less headache. With Mbappe coming to the end of his contract, the club is going to extreme lengths to keep the player. The club intends to let one of its fabled attacking trident leave to keep Mbappe.

The desperation to keep Mbappe has forced the club into offering Neymar to Barcelona. El Nacional reports that intermediaries are being used to reach out to Barcelona. Nasser Al Khelaifi has made a surprise offer to Joan Laporta. The PSG chief is less than impressed with Neymar and is willing to use him as bait to keep Mbappe.

Barca in Mbappe contract mess

PSG indeed loathes thea of Mbappe leaving the club for Real Madrid next season. The Spanish club made a bold attempt to bring the World Cup winner to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer with a rejected bid of £170 million.

Barca, who are in debt to the tune of €1 billion, is seen as a solution to Al Khelaifi’s headache. He believes that if Neymar leaves, it will convince Mbappe to stay. How Al Khelaifi will make this transfer work remains a mystery as the Catalan giants will have the Brazilian’s salary as a stumbling block even if they stump up the money for Neymar.

Mbappe is free to agree to a pre-contract with other clubs in January, with Real Madrid first on the queue to land him.
