Neymar back from Paris St Germain to Barcelona is so much important for Barca that the players were ready to take their payment delay. Gerard Pique informed earlier today that Barcelona players were willing to take a pay cut to fund Neymar‘s return. Barca offers to restructure salary for Neymar’s return. It shows that Barca’s faith in Neymar, they are so keen to take him back for their team. Barca spent the bulk of the last transfer opening to try Neymar’s back from PSG, after two years when he made his journey to PSG from the Catalan club for a huge amount of transfer fee of 222 million euros which was a record-breaking amount to transfer a player in club football history. But both clubs failed to reach an agreement before the deadline of transfer in September.

Barcelona already signed Frenkie de Jong for 75 million, and French forward Antoine Griezmann for 120 million euros. That’s why they were restricted in their pursuit of Neymar, in the regulation of Financial Fair Play by UEFA. Rules designed to protect the game’s richest owners from overpowering their rivals, with clubs obliged to be transparent about revenue, and to keep them in balance rather than spend. They may also include a limit on damage clubs.

Gerard Pique says Barcelona’s players were going to make a huge contribution so that the club could re-sign Neymar.
