Super agent Wagner Ribeiro admits PSG star Neymar's price to buyout his contract will fall next year.
Barcelona pushed hard all summer to reach terms with PSG for their former attacker, but Monday's deadline fell with Neymar still in Paris.
However, Ribeiro says negotiations will become easier at the turn of the year.
He told Globoesporte: "In the next window of transfers, the scenario will be different.
"The protected years of the club that made the investment are the first two. Starting in the third season, there is a discount on the amount they paid. They paid €222m, so every year beyond the two protected years, the amount decreases by 20%."
In other words, next summer, Neymar will be available for €177.6m.
