Barcelona will not be signing Neymar Junior this summer, despite ɾєρօɾτedly reaching an agreement over his salary.
The Blaugrana had seemingly reached a Ԁєɑł for a €12m salary per annum for Neymar late last week, but it required Paris Saint-Germain to agree a mutual termination of his Ԁєɑł.
Yet now the Brazilian will likely make around five times that in Saudi Arabia, where multiple ɾєρօɾτs say that he will sign a two-year Ԁєɑł with Al Hilal. Fabrizio Romano claims Neymar has already given the green light to the Ԁєɑł, while La Portera de Nunez claims that the chance of him now moving toBarcelonais now less than 10%.
L’Equipe, viaMarca, claim that PSG will receive around €60m in a fee forNeymar, which is obviously highly preferable to the French side. They say Neymar will earn around €80m per year, whileRelevoput that number closer to €100m, and a €90m fee for PSG.
One person who will not be sad to seeBarcelonamiss out, isBarcelonaCoach Xavi Hernandez. He was ɾєρօɾτedly the major element in CanBarcapushing against the signing of his former teammate, ɾєρօɾτedly concerned that he could have a negative impact on the dressing room. This gets him out of a potential face-off with President Joan Laporta.
