Transfer: Neymar ready to accept pay cut as he forces move to Barcelona

Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, has claimed that Brazilian forward, Neymar is willing to take a pay cut to force through a move back to Barcelona.

Neymar is intent on returning to Barcelona this summer, with Real Madrid also battling to sign the Brazil international.

Balague said that Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez want Neymar back.

According Express Sports, Balague said Barcelona will do all they can to bring back Neymar before the European transfer deadline.

“The player is happy to reduce his wages from 38 million euros net to 23 million euros net,” Balague said.

“It is an interesting situation at Barcelona. They feel they have to try really hard to get him back.

“Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez want him back but also the president Josep Maria Bartomeu has two more years in his mandate and he wants to leave a big legacy. Can you imagine all those players that have been mentioned and Neymar as well?”
