Barcelona agree cash + 3 players deal for Neymar

It is happening. According to Gianluca DiMarzio, Neymar is all set to return to the Camp Nou after 2 years in the French capital. Barcelona have now agreed to a deal with PSG and have reached an agreement with Neymar over personal terms as well.

It is not clear how much money is going to be involved. However, Barcelona's offer included 3 players- Todibo, Ivan Rakitic and Ousmane Dembele. The only stumbling block is that La Blaugrana are yet to convince Ousmane Dembele to part with them and join Paris Saint-Germain.

The report claims that the representatives are working on the last details of the deal and that the deal will be sealed before the transfer window shuts on September 2. The Brazilian has been trying to force a return to Barcelona all summer and it looks like the biggest transfer saga of the summer has reached its conclusion.
