Barcelona management now concerned Neymar could leave

Barcelona management are becoming increasingly concerned they could lose Neymar to PSG.

Marca says from the '200 percent' certainty that the winger won't leave to hopeful reassurances that Paris Saint-Germain's 222 million euro deal would be out of Financial Fair Play boundaries, the tune around the Camp Nou has certainly changed.

In the dressing room, Neymar's exit has long been considered a real possibility and there are those who believe that the Brazilian has 'always been a bit on his own'.

While relationships with his teammates have certainly been positive, the Barcelona squad is one of cliques and Neymar is something of an orphan having seen allies such as Dani Alves leave the club.

Therefore it's in purely footballing terms that the winger's potential departure would be felt the most, with off the field matters perhaps driving the move as much as the enormous wage on offer at PSG.
