Last Word on Football\u2019s\u00a0Football Transfer News<\/a>\u00a0looks at the latest transfer rumours from around world football. In today\u2019s edition, more possibilities in the Neymar<\/a> saga and Juventus<\/a> continue to sell great players.<\/p>\n

European Transfer Rumours<\/h2>\n

The Neymar Transfer Rumours Have Life!<\/h3>\n

Just when the footballing world began to think the Neymar-to-Barcelona rumours had died out for the summer, they pop right back up.\u00a0 L’Equipe<\/a> reported this morning that Neymar and Paris St. Germain were working towards a resolution; with August 10th representing the latest ‘most crucial’ date.<\/p>\n

Now if that resolution results in a decision to sell, then Barcelona<\/a> is waiting, with options, PSG really doesn’t want.\u00a0 Mundo Deportivo<\/a> wrote this morning, in response to the L’Equipe piece, that Barcelona could not possibly pay PSG’s price for Neymar this summer.\u00a0 They believe PSG would have two options if they decide to sell Neymar back to Barcelona.<\/p>\n

The first option is a loan with an obligation to buy next summer.\u00a0 Similar to how PSG acquired Kylian Mbappe<\/a> from AS Monaco, Barcelona would pay a significant loan fee this summer, and a lower, but still large transfer fee next summer.\u00a0 However, Mundo wrote in their article that Barcelona would still need to move someone in order to absorb Neymar’s salary.<\/p>\n

The other option for PSG is taking one or two Barcelona players along with some cash in a deal.\u00a0 Those players, you already know, are Philippe Coutinho<\/a> and Ivan Rakitic<\/a>.\u00a0 It seems highly unlikely that PSG will give in to Barcelona’s demands on those players after holding out all summer.<\/p>\n

Juventus Selling Cancelo?<\/h3>\n

After rumours of Paulo Dybala<\/a> to Manchester United<\/a> and the sale of Moise Kean to Everton<\/a>, it looks like Juventus could have one Premier League deal left.\u00a0 According to Fabrizio Romano<\/a> Juventus could still sell Joao Cancelo<\/a> to Manchester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The report by Romano says that Man City has offered Danilo plus cash for the Portuguese right-back.\u00a0 He also believes Juventus are looking for around\u00a0\u00a0\u20ac60 million for Cancelo.\u00a0 So depending on Juve’s valuation of Danilo, Man City should need to offer something like\u00a0\u20ac40 million to get a deal done.<\/p>\n

Now there are only seven days left in the Premier League transfer window, so deals like this will be extremely hard to get done.\u00a0 But these two sides have been in negotiations all summer so they could get a deal done.<\/p>\n
