Football can bring about stunning results and major surprises, with recent years seeing that same element involved with player transfers throughout the world. However, Paris Saint-Germain’s pursuit of Barcelona forward Neymar could send shockwaves throughout Europe.
Recent reports claim that the French club are prepared to trigger the Brazilian superstar’s release clause with a massive £197 million bid, and offer a lucrative contract. While the Blaugrana have not officially announced his departure in any way, there does appear to be a strong possibility that the move will take place.
Splitting up the “MSN” trident at the Camp Nou will be disappointing for supporters, but there are certainly options for manager Ernesto Valverde moving ahead to keep his side competitive in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.

Kylian Mbappe is one of the most promising talents in Europe, and his possible arrival at the Camp Nou would be a victory in various ways for Barcelona. The 18-year-old could fill the void left by Neymar while taking away a major signing from Real Madrid.
The French international scored 26 goals across all competitions last season to help Monaco capture a Ligue 1 title.
With their El Clasico rivals interested in the player as well, signing Kylian Mbappe would bring positives in different manners to all involved at Barcelona.
