5 negative effects of Neymar's departure on Barcelona

# 1 Poor relationship between Barcelona and PSG

Barca and PSG's relationship became sour

While PSG might not have thought much about the consequences of their actions in the Neymar deal, it is reasonable to believe that the Catalan giants will not be very happy with the Ligue 1 outfit for what happened in the summer. The transfer was questioned by many people, with various individuals branding it as 'inhuman' and calling for the intervention of FIFA into the case.

Barcelona has also not been satisfied with the Paris club, as they reportedly opened legal proceedings against both the player and the club, demanding for a refund of the loyalty bonus of €8.5 million that was paid to the player, after he renewed his contract with the Catalan club.

Moreover, Paris Saint Germain have like-wise held grudges with the La Liga club and were rumored to have blocked a deal between the Catalans and club winger, Angel Di Maria. When asked about Barca's chances of signing Angel Di Maria during the transfer summer, Spanish football expert, Graham Hunter said:

“He is not the only one Barcelona’s list but they are trying with PSG,”

“Relationships between PSG and Barcelona are not good after the ram-raid they managed to conduct for the Neymar deal."

“It dates back to the 6-1 Champions League match and the proceedings on the night. There’s an ill-feeling between Barcelona and PSG."

“Therefore PSG are not making it easy for Di Maria to join. He is eager to but it’s odd."
