Paris St-Germain forward Neymar has been the subject of two unsuccessful bids from Barcelona and Real Madrid, according to Guillem Balague of BBC Radio 5 Live, published on August 15, 2019.
Barcelona's Offer ¶
Barcelona are believed to have offered 100m euros (£92.4m) plus Philippe Coutinho in exchange for the 27-year-old Brazil international.
Ivan Rakitic was also discussed with the French club as part of the deal.
Real Madrid's Offer ¶
Real Madrid have put forward a deal that includes money as well as Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez.
However, PSG asked for Vinicius Junior, but Real did not include his name in the frame.
Neymar's Background ¶
Neymar became the world's most expensive player in 2017 when PSG paid him 222m (£205m) to buy himself out of his contract at Barcelona.
He has scored 34 league goals in two seasons for the French champions, although injuries have interrupted both campaigns.
