According to recent reports from SPORT, there are two potential routes for Neymar's return to Barcelona.
The Brazilian has once again been the subject of much speculation about a potential return to his former club.
However, due to Barcelona's complicated financial situation, all transactions are incredibly difficult at the moment.
Paris Saint-Germain is said to be in negotiations with their star player about extending his deal.
However, there are still links to Barcelona, which many feel is one of the reasons for the lack of progress. On several occasions, Neymar has expressed his desire to reunite with Lionel Messi.
After his notorious burofax saga last season, PSG has been linked with Messi, but the Argentine may opt to remain at Barcelona.
The Ligue 1 club is said to have set a price of 150 million euros for Neymar, which Barcelona cannot afford for a number of reasons.
Above all, paying such an amount for a player whose contract ends in a year will be ludicrous.
Despite the financial challenges, the Neymar transaction is feasible, though impossible, according to the Spanish outlet.
If they want to sign him this season, Antoine Griezmann or Ousmane Dembele will be sent to Paris in a swap contract. PSG already has Dembele on their radar, which may provide additional motivation.
If they wait until his contract with the French giants ends in 2022, they will be able to sign him on a free transfer.
In either case, the operation will be complicated, and Barcelona's salary situation will worsen as Neymar will have to accept a lucrative contract.
Barcelona will not pay any amount for the 29-year-old, according to the article, and his signing this summer is not even being considered. The key goal remains to sign a top striker.
Haaland is the top candidate, but his high price may force Barça to consider Plan B, which would include Lautaro Martnez or Harry Kane.
