Without doubt. Barca can't afford to lose him.
Neymar

He's the heir apparent to Messi. They wont sell .
More likely scenario is of him signing new contract and Barca doing everything possible to see that happens. With Barca's wage bill above 70% of income, they need to cut down somewhere, although Neymar can't be that cut down option. Lot will depend on how Messi's tax case goes, if his agent comes back with wage rise, are Barca in market for big names next summer etc..I hope till then Woody keeps up his work with summer 2016 in mind and keep other options open in case Neymar signs new contract.
How on earth is their wage bill so high? Their squad isn't even big.
Hilarious thread, some real naïvety on here.
Some would think we're Accrington Stanley and can't play with the big boys, and we only go after one player at a time, Ed makes a bid and waits until the "selling club" phones him back before even considering the option of pursuing someone else and that someone else can only be pursued if we know that he is available for certain or if they're at one of the "big" clubs we can only buy him when he's at the end of his career

Don't know details. Maybe along with Messi likes Iniesta, Pique etc are also on high wage. Not too forget Neymar and Suarez plus like of Alba, Rakitic, Mascherano etc who will command high wages.
Reading through the first page felt like I was on RAWK.
Too many people in this thread, go back to Bale thread, we need your money next summer 
Allow the guy fulfill his dream, that a greedy father avoided
The taxgate emanated from the capital(if you believe the conspiration theory) but Santos has also legal problems with his father. That will depends on Neymar, if he wants to leave he has 3 realistic options, to stay in Spain, in Madrid or England: United or Chelsea. Even if he renews the release clause will go proportionally, from 190meuros to perhaps 250, I don´t think that Barça will convince him for some crazy amount like Bale or Cristiano.

It was not an open bidding process. Barcelona had paid his father 10m euros the previous year to make sure he went there. He got another payment of 30m euros the year after. There is now a dispute with Santos and the Neymars.

We knew we wouldn't get him this season, we set the foundations for next season by interrupting potential contract negotiations between Neymar and Barca with a little 'Hold off on this a little bit, don't rush into signing this new contract'
The very same reports that have proven to be true said our realistic target was signing him for next year.

Wouldn't have happened either way but gotta say I'm enjoying that we're going after the worlds best players each window, really shows how far we're willing to go to become the best again.
At worse, Neymar signs a new contract but given the revelations about Barca's finances, that's a good thing for us. Giving Neymar a big new contract reduces their ability to compete with us for a different player (say, Griezman).
I really don't get the people who say it's embarrassing as well. How the hell is submitting a bid for any player embarrassing?
I was just about to say the same thing. Hopefully we will sign a huge player soon and then they will take us to the next level.
Messi is unbuyable surely, because he is already the king at Barcelona and getting paid whatever he wants.
Suarez - Considering the history and his age, it doesn't make sense to get him.
Neymar is young, very marketable, probably wants the Balon d'or sooner rather than later. Having to say Messi is the best in every interview probably does get annoying.
I wouldn't take Suarez even we wouldn't have to pay any money at all.
Contract renewals and huge bonuses for probably everyone after winning the treble. I don't think letting Neymar leave is even a consideration, but there's been some noise that they have to look after their finances seriously.
I could see Neymar leaving Barca one day. Don't see him as someone who will stay at the same club for long.
We'd be daft not too be interested.

Can see him coming here next season to be honest as Rooney's heir.
He gets to be the real big fish and if the plan for this team furfills we will be challenging the best in the world next year.
He's not coming to England.
I would have a go if the door gets open anyhow. After all, I don't see how 2 roosters (Messi and Neymar) can co-exist for long in a same chicken pen (Barcelona).
Why is this so unrealistic? All you have to do pay someone more money.
If that was the case we would of had our bids for muller and bale accepted, Neymar too.
It's about so much more than the money. Especially when dealing with clubs like barca, bayern and madrid.
It's somewhere in middle. It is definitely not unrealistic but quite tough. I feel once we get a big name player, who settles and helps us win trophies, others can/will follow. Initially we will face disappointment. These big clubs won't want to look like fools by selling such world class players to us. The weakened team plus fan backlash is not something they want. So it will be quite tough to get the first big name whom their club don't want to sell (AdM doesn't count in this). Once we get that, we will settle a bit and look to build team around him(which may not be with only big names), plus then the club will become more attractive destination for other big names, if needed.
Perez offered more money for Neymar
Are people on here actually asking us to show less ambition in the transfer market?
Player agents are devious nowadays. They will do anything to get a payday.
Yes, yes they are.Are people on here actually asking us to show less ambition in the transfer market?
No thanks. Even if we offered him a ton of money, I doubt he'd come here even if Barca were willing to let him go. Just out of curiosity though, I wonder how many United fans would be willing to forgive and forget if he did pull on the shirt? Not sure I would. But on the plus side of things, I'd love watching the scousers going apeshit if he signed for United.
but but but they're broke and will have no other choice but to sell him !!
But but but
No chance of that happening..if they wanted cash they could sell Messi and clubs would pay over a 100m for him easily..maybe even 150-180mil. I would.
If I had the money of course.
How much more to his dad though?
With Messi and Ronaldo still in playing at a high level it won't matter whether he's in EPL or not to boost his Balon D'Or chances. Actually he has more of a chance staying at Barca than elsewhere, along with his excellent NT career so far. I can only see him leaving if the tax case becomes too big of an issue for both of the club and player.
Financially, our Qatari sponsorship is expiring this June, and the reports say they are preparing to offer at least 60M per year for the shirt sponsorship, so even more if we count in the training kit and etc. Won't be surprised if they offer us a historical sponsorship deal.

as ridiculous as it sounds to even think of him leaving Barca, Neymar in the premier league has a whiff of the DiMarias to me
No way whatsoever. Neymar proven time and time again that he's the real deal. He's an attacker and a goal threat. He'd score 25+ comfortably in the EPL.
Neymar is a as tough as nails imo
We really were going with the scatter gun 'try and nab a world class attacker, any world class attacker' approach this Summer weren't we?
I'd agree with this. He'd get chewed up and spat out by Premier League defending - not because he isn't talented enough, just because he weighs about 7 stone soaking wet.
