The six keys which could open the door to Neymar's Barça return
Barça and PSG will have to include players in any potential deal
The operation to bring Neymar back to Barcelona from Paris Saint-Germain has a number of factors. It's such a complicated deal that doesn't just rely on the two clubs and the players. It will be essential that other protagonists play their part if it's to go through.
Barça are not prepared to mega a huge offer to sign Neymar. The arrival of Antoine Griezmann, who cost his 120 million euro release clause, means they will have to come up with other ways of signing the Brazilian. PSG's posture doesn't help things, either.
However, there's hope, because beyond the money, Barça have a squad full of interesting players for any big European side and PSG are no exception. Ruling out players like Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez, six players are possible keys in opening the door to Neymar.
One of them, as explained by SPORT, is Philippe Coutinho, but he's not the only player of interest to the French side. Along with the Brazil international is Ousmane Dembele, a young player with an exciting future. There's also Ivan Rakitic, who they tried to sign last summer, Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet, two French centre-backs, and Nelson Semedo, the latest to join the list, someone wanted by coach Thomas Tuchel.
Barça have put several names on the negotiating table but, in this sense, PSG have their own plans. The summer's advancing and everything suggests there will be movement in both directions.
