"Barcelona" club - restless days: team fans are waiting with great anxiety for Neymar's final decision on his future.
The entire world media is buzzing with reports that Paris "Saint-Germain" is preparing to shake up the transfer window - to buy out the Brazilian's contract, which includes an impressive buyout fee of 222 million euros.
It is said that the 25-year-old player himself has already decided to leave Barcelona, so the team scouts are already considering candidates who could possibly replace the departing Brazilian.
According to Catalan press, the main candidate to take Neymar's place is the Turin "Juventus" leader Paulo Dybala. However, "Barca" understands that luring the Argentine forward will not be easy - "Juve" is asking for 120 million euros for him, and the player himself claims to be happy in Turin.
Another possible candidate is "Liverpool" midfielder Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian attacker, playing in Liverpool, has long been on Barcelona's radar, but the main problem is that the "Reds" are not currently considering selling him at any price.
Also on the list of candidates is rising French football star Ousmane Dembele. The Borussia Dortmund winger's style of play closely resembles Neymar's, but here too, Barcelona faces Dortmundo's asking price of 90 million euros.
"Barca" understands that it may not be easy to find a suitable successor to Neymar at a lower price, but the Spanish vice-champions are not yet willing to blindly enter into negotiations for a potential Neymar replacement.
