According to ESPN, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have set the price for Neymar at €170 million but details over the payments are holding up a deal.
During a meeting between the two sides on Tuesday, Barcelona offered to pay PSG €40m in 2019 with additional payments of €65m to be made in 2020 and 2021, but the Ligue 1 side rejected that proposal and insisted that they want the entire fee paid up front.
The Catalans are now trying to include Ousmane Dembele as a makeweight to sweeten the deal, but there could be another stumbling block with the France international's agent, who recently stated he wants the former Borussia Dortmund forward to stay at the Camp Nou.
The two clubs plan to continue talks and sources at Camp Nou expressed their optimism on Tuesday, saying that "the transfer window is open until Sept. 2" while another source told ESPN FC that the next 48 hours will be decisive for the negotiations.
