The transfer rumors linking Barcelona superstar Neymar with a move away from Spain – or merely Camp Nou – fails to die down, with the agent of the 24-year-old Brazilian ace adding fuel to speculation that the player is ready to quit the Blaugrana.
Wagner Ribeiro, the representative of the former Santos starlet, admitted that there are three clubs right now that are ready to trigger Neymar’s release clause. This means that he’s up for grabs should a club match the Selecao captain’s €200m buyout clause.
Ribeiro said (as per Marca): “Today there are three big clubs in the world who want to sign Neymar and pay €200m clause to FC Barcelona.”
“I can not say anything else, because it is a sensitive subject.”
With only two years remaining on Neymar’s contract with the Catalan giants, the reigning Liga BBVA champions are in risk of losing a key member in their MSN attacking trio. The likes of Real Madrid, PSG, and Man United are all believed to be after the Brazilian.
However, Marca dismiss Ribeiro’s recent comments as a tactic to gain leverage in contract talks that are set to be held between his client and Barca. Despite earning big bucks in bonuses and incentives, Football Leaks revealed back in April that the 24-year-old is currently on a modest £77,000-per-week salary package at the Blaugrana.
However, having helped Luis Enrique’s boys win five trophy in 2014/15, and a league and cup double last season, Neymar is in line to earn a bumper new deal, with the player expected to stay at Camp Nou.
