Press reports revealed that the Brazilian Neymar da Silva, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, has already agreed to return to his former club, Barcelona, next season, with great financial sacrifices.
Neymar left Barcelona in the summer of 2017 to Paris Saint-Germain, in exchange for the termination of his contract with Barca, where his current club paid 222 million euros, to become the Brazilian international most expensive player in the world.
The Argentine newspaper Olé said that Neymar will return to Barcelona, to receive less than half the wage he was receiving in Paris Saint-Germain.
The newspaper pointed out, in a report published today, Tuesday, that the total earned by Neymar in Paris Saint-Germain reaches 50 million euros annually, and this amount includes the value of his annual contract, in addition to incentives and other advertising contracts, most notably being a prominent advertising destination for Qatar National Bank.
She emphasized that Neymar expressed his strong desire to return to Barcelona, and agreed that his salary in Barca would be only 20 million euros, which is less than half of what he was receiving in the French capital club.
She continued: Neymar wants to return to Barcelona again, after regretting the decision to leave, and wants to restore his brilliance with the pair, the Uruguayan Luis Suarez, and the legendary Argentine Lionel Messi, so that the terrifying triangle known as MSN, returns.
Neymar's contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer of 2022. Several reports indicated that Barcelona may not have the financial means to settle the Neymar deal, especially since he also wants to include the Argentine, Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez, as the deals cost up to 300 million euros.
Also, Barcelona decided at the Board of Directors meeting today, Tuesday, to assign the ownership rights of its stadium Camp Nou for the next season 2020-2021 to the Barcelona Foundation to collect funds for research projects, which are being conducted in Catalonia and the rest of the world in the fight against the Coronavirus.
At this important moment in the world facing the biggest health, economic and social crisis in modern history, FC Barcelona made an exceptional decision, commensurate with the situation that humankind needs at this moment, from extreme uncertainty, a club statement said, following a board meeting today.
Everyone must do everything in their power to counter the impact of this global epidemic, which has paralyzed the world, and that Barcelona commits to the community that is part of its identity. Ownership to Camp Nou for the Barcelona 2020-2021 season, to raise funds for investment in research projects, which are taking place in Catalonia, and the rest of the world involved in combating the effects of COVID-19.
This decision means that, in the coming weeks, the Barcelona Foundation will search for a commercial sponsor, who wants to obtain the ownership rights of the Camp Nou for the season, in exchange for an amount that will be used to fund research projects and initiatives, aimed at combating the effects of COVID-19 locally and internationally.
This decision is historic for Barcelona because property rights are commercial assets that the club has not exploited yet, and has not waived before.
The Spanish government said that the number of deaths in the country due to the emerging Coronavirus has increased 430 cases during the past twenty-four hours, bringing the total to 21282 today, Tuesday.
This number is higher than the previous day's increase of 399 deaths, despite officials' confidence that the spread of the epidemic is slowing down in Spain, one of the most affected countries in the world.
