Barcelona 'refusing to pay transfer fee for Neymar'

Barcelona are reportedly keen to avoid paying a transfer fee for Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar.

The Catalan giants and the Brazil international are keen on securing a reunion this summer, just two years since they parted ways in a world-record deal.

However, Barcelona are struggling to meet the demands of PSG, who are allegedly open to doing business with Real Madrid if they include Luka Modric in any proposal.

According to Marca, Barcelona are attempting to put together a package which would see them only include players as a form of payment.

Reports earlier this summer claimed that the La Liga champions needed to get a number of squad members off their wage bill before they could proceed with a formal offer.

PSG are unlikely to consider such an approach as they bid to ease their own issues with FFP.
