Barcelona full-back Nelson Semedo is reportedly open to the idea of joining Paris Saint-Germain in a swap deal which would take Neymar in the opposite direction.

Barcelona full-back Nelson Semedo is reportedly open to joining Paris Saint-Germain this summer as part of an exchange which could take Neymar in the opposite direction.

The Spanish giants are in talks with PSG over a big-money return to Camp Nou for Neymar, who left for the Parc des Princes in a world-record deal two years ago.

However, the £200m asking price has proven to be a major sticking point in negotiations, with PSG unhappy with the previous player-plus-cash offers submitted by Barca.

Philippe Coutinho is no longer available to be included as part of the deal due to his impending loan move to Bayern Munich, but Mundo Deportivo reports that both clubs could be interested in using Semedo as a makeweight.

PSG lost Dani Alves on a free transfer during the summer and are therefore in the market for a new right-back, while Barca have Sergi Roberto as another option in that position.

The Ligue 1 champions would still demand a sizeable cash fee if Semedo was the only player included in the deal, although a possible loan for Ousmane Dembele has been suggested as another option to reduce the financial outlay.
