PSG 'preparing £640k-a-week Neymar contract'

Paris Saint-Germain prepare to offer Neymar a new deal worth £640,000 per week in order to fend off interest from Barcelona, according to a report.

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly prepared to offer Neymar a staggering £640,000 a week in order to fend off interest from Barcelona.

The Brazil international is one of two attackers strongly linked with a switch to Catalonia this summer, along with Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez.

Neymar registered 105 goals in 186 games during his time at Camp Nou between 2013 and 2017, and Barcelona are supposedly looking to offload several players as they attempt to bring the attacker back to La Liga.

However, according to Nicolo Schira, PSG are determined to keep hold of the Brazilian, and are prepared to offer him a new five-year deal worth €38m (£33m) per year to stay in the French capital.

Should Neymar agree to these terms, he would remain the third highest-paid footballer on the planet behind current Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi and Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar has chalked up 13 goals and six assists in 15 Ligue 1 appearances this season, and will see his current deal at the French champions expire in 2022.
