Barcelona transfer rumours: Neymar, Martinez on the cards

Barcelona are reportedly looking to go all out to bring PSG's Neymar back to Camp Nou. It is reported that the defending LaLiga champions are close to signing the 28-year-old Brazilian. Barcelona are looking to off-load players like Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele to gather funds for the Neymar transfer.

Barcelona were also monitoring Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez closely before the outbreak of coronavirus. However, with no matchday revenue in over two months, Barcelona will need to ensure some sales before they move for either Neymar or Martinez. A move for both Neymar and Lautaro Martinez appears highly unlikely given the finances involved in both the transfers.
