Comolli: PSG must sell Verratti to make Neymar deal work
Posted Friday, July 21, 2017 by tribalfootball.com
French sports director Damien Comolli believes PSG will have to sell Marco Verratti if they want to sign Neymar.
There is talk of PSG being prepared to pay Neymar's €222m buyout clause to prise him away from Barca.
But Comolli told Le Parisien: "If the total cost of Neymar is set at about €90 million a year, it is absolutely impossible to balance the books."
"Sponsorship revenue could rise by 10 to 15%, as would the price of the tickets at the Parc des Princes. But it's a maximum."
"The only way for PSG to rationalize the arrival of Neymar would be to sell Verratti. If not, I do not see how it could work."
