According to L'Equipe, PSG have no interest in any player-plus-cash deals from either Barcelona and Real Madrid and will demand to recoup the 222 million euros paid for Neymar.

With his future still up in the air, Neymar currently remains a PSG player and has travelled as part of coach Thomas Tuchel’s 33-man squad for the upcoming tour of China.

Meanwhile, reports continue to surface daily from France regarding negotiations between PSG and the Brazilian star’s former club, Barcelona, who would prefer a players-plus-cash deal to be put in place.

According to the latest report from French daily L’Equipe, PSG are not interested any kind of player-swap deal and have always had the intention of recouping the 222 million euros they spent on Neymar in 2017.

L’Equipe also claim that PSG are neither interested in a proposal from Barca’s LaLiga rivals Real Madrid, who have reportedly offered unwanted Welsh striker Gareth Bale plus 90 million euros in exchange for Neymar.

The Brazil international is understood to be desperate to leave PSG, but L’Equipe points out that the “most realistic” scenario will be that he remains in Paris, considering neither Barca nor Real would likely be willing to pay the 222 million euros the French club is demanding.
