Barcelona willing to part with big names to set up Neymar multi-player swap

Barcelona are willing to part with some of their best players to bring Neymar back from PSG this summer.

With Barca having to introduce 70 per cent pay-cuts for their players due to the coronavirus suspension, if they're to meet PSG's valuation for Neymar, a multi-player swap deal will have to be settled.

Sport says Antoine Griezmann will headline those available, with Ousmane Dembélé, Philippe Coutinho, Nelson Semedo and Samuel Umtiti also on the table. For their part, PSG now rate Neymar at €180m - at least.

Interestingly, last summer Barca failed with at least two confirmed offers for Neymar, with their bids including Ivan Rakitic and Ousmane Dembélé in part exchange.

Earlier this week, regarding Neymar, Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu said: "Barça will be in the market willing to carry out the operations it deems appropriate.

"Of course we will have capacity to do such moves."
