Barcelona to offer Neymar ridiculous new deal to fight off Manchester United January bid

Yeah, this is still a thing

SportsJOE

If Manchester United want to sign Barcelona star Neymar in January they will have to make a pretty ridiculous offer.

Louis van Gaal had eyes for the free-scoring Brazilian during the last transfer window, but a firm offer was never made.

But now the Telegraph report that Barca are preparing to offer him a s**t load of money to stop him moving elsewhere.

Negotiations are expected to start in December and he could be offered a six-year, £500,000-a-week deal to keep him in Spain.

The £150m mega deal would make him one of the highest paid stars in the world, just behind team mate Lionel Messi.

This will be a huge dent to Untied’s hopes of landing the forward as their marquee signing.
