Barcelona Could Lose Superstar to Manchester United
Barcelona's Brazilan super star Neymar Junior, who has formed one of the deadliest front 3 in recent history with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, could be heading out of the door at the Camp Nou if the latest reports published by the British publication The Sun are to be believed. Neymar, who has suffered a slight dip in form over the past few weeks has been accused by the supporters of being the weakest link in the team's attack and in fact in an online poll, 62% of the respondents wanted the club to sell the player. However, the club are willing to extend his contract at Barcelona and are currently in negotiations with the player's representatives. The player wants to be paid a far larger salary that what he is being now but the Barcelona representatives have stated that they would not be able to go beyond £77,000 per week and that has become the bone of contention sicne Neymar correctly believes that he should be paid much more.
The recent developments would come as great news for Manchester United and their Chief Executive Officer Ed Woodward, who has been desperate to bring him to Old Trafford and according to some reports even placed a bid of £150 million for the star last summer but a deal could not be made. However, the situation has now changed altogether with the player's representatives looking for a larger salary for the super star and Manchester United are ready to offer him a mammoth £300,000 per week if he decides to trade Camp Nou for Old Trafford this summer.
The Red Devils are however unlikely get a free pass for this particular signing by merely offering a massive salary since cash rish French Ligue 1 club Paris Saint Germain have also made the Brazilian their top priority in the summer and are prepared to pay him the same salary as Manchester United. In fact, Neymar's agent even went as far as to say that the player would definitely like to live and work in a city like Paris, which shows that the player might be more inclined to move to Paris rather than Manchester.
