Barcelona Offered Neymar on Loan by PSG as Part of Ousmane Dembele Deal

• Neymar has been offered a chance to return to Barcelona by Paris Saint-Germain
• The Catalan giants have been given the chance to take back the Brazilian on loan
• Barcelona sold Neymar to the Ligue 1 champions for a world record sum in 2017

Paris Saint-Germain’s bid to sign Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona could cause the world’s most expensive footballer, Neymar Junior, to move in the other direction.

PSG are set to wrap up the deal for Dembele before the end of the week after agreeing on personal terms with the French winger and are reportedly ready to pay the Catalans €50 million for his release.

According to Forbes, Barcelona has been offered their former player - Neymar - on loan by PSG as part of negotiations to convince the Catalans to part ways with Dembele.

The Parisians have been eager to offload the Brazilian and would see this as an opportunity to get rid of the player they paid a world record transfer fee of €222mil for in 2017.
