According to the RAC1, PSG consider Barcelona's loan-plus-purchase-option proposal for Neymar to be completely unacceptable.
Just hours after speculation had come to light in France that PSG were open to the idea of a loan deal with Barcelona for the Brazilian star, which would have included an option to purchase, Le Parisien has quashed those rumours.
According to the French daily, PSG considers the Barcelona proposal completely unacceptable, not only on financial grounds, but also based on the principles of respect.
In July, Barcelona offered PSG 40 million euros plus Philippe Coutinho (now gone to Bayern Munich on loan) and Ivan Rakitic in exchange for Neymar.
However the Parisien club’s owners found the offer insufficient, while sporting director Leonardo reportedly didn’t want the Croatian midfielder.
Since then, the Catalan club has been probing the possibility of the loan transfer, something which is unrealistic for Al-Khelaifi.
While the exit door is very much open to Neymar following the breakdown in his relationship with PSG, the club is not willing to let him go at any price.
Besides, considering the Parc de Princes is under the focus of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play inspectors, they will need to take in a sufficient amount of money in order to spend a significant amount on his replacement, which seemingly makes Barcelona’s proposal unfeasible.
