The Blaugranas have tried a lot to bring its once parted star player Neymar Jr back to the Camp Nou somehow but they were unable to do so last season. Now when football has its uncertainty of resuming, transfer market is further affected for all the clubs around the globe.
This summer too Barcelona were hoping to land the Brazilian to the Camp Nou but the latest report suggests that the Catalan giants can no longer afford to sign him this summer.
Lluís Canut and Xavi Lemus at CatRadio have reported that Barca “have ruled out” signing Neymar. They will instead focus on bringing in Lautaro Martinez as well as renewing Lionel Messi’s contract instead.
The €170 million fee for Neymar is currently huge for Barcelona and given the current financial situation, Barcelona have let a star player like Coutinho, Dembele, Griezmann go to make money for the Brazilian.
So, naturally, Barca’s priorities are now bringing in Lautaro Martinez as a replacement for Luis Suarez and extending Messi’s contract that currently expires in 2021. Also, the Spanish league champions plan to renew the contract with goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen which will cost a lot for the Blaugranas.
The report tells that renewing the contract of Nelson Semedo and Luis Suarez are also on Barca’s to-do list, but they will completely be on the contrary to their performances in the coming future.
