PSG prepare world record £195m bid for Barcelona star Neymar

French side Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to lodge a world record bid of £195m (222 EUROS) for Barcelona superstar Neymar – a fee that would meet the release clause of the attacker.

Rumours have been circulating about Neymar’s future for some time now, but now, numerous Spanish reports suggesting that Paris side PSG are prepared to meet the Catalan’s valuation, in order to bring the Brazilian international to Ligue 1.

Marca are reporting that PSG will meet the release clause and pay the 25-year-old £26.5m a year.

AS say that the move is of interest to Barcelona as it will give them leverage to bring in their target Marco Verratti.

But Mundo Deportivo are contesting this, by reporting that Barcelona are highly unlikely to allow their forward man leave the club.

The Brazilian has been at the club since 2013, winning ten trophies in that time – most notably two La Liga titles and one Champions League.
