Dembele could play decisive role in Neymar signing
Must convince Frenchman to move
Posted Thursday, August 29, 2019 by Marca.com
Barcelona will seek to convince Ousmane Dembele to act as a makeweight in a deal to bring Neymar back to the club from Paris Saint-Germain.
The two clubs met on Tuesday to discuss the terms of a potential move for the Brazilian and the Blaugrana will now try to fund the transfer.
Dembele is not willing to depart Barcelona and his agent Moussa Sissoko had confirmed that to L'Equipe, before expressing his certainty that the Frenchman will stay to Mundo Deportivo.
Earlier in the summer, Sissoko met with the club's sporting director Eric Abidal, who assured the representative that the Catalan side will be counting on the player.
Even Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu claimed that "Dembele is better than Neymar", but things have changed since then.
PSG are interested in signing several other Barcelona players, none of whom are eager to move to France, and the LaLiga Santander club will now put their efforts into convincing the 22-year-old to join the Ligue 1 champions.
