Barcelona Transfer Rumors: Neymar Is Worth the Transfer Price for Catalan Club

Brazilian forward Neymar is worth an enormous transfer price to Barcelona as the Catalan club explores all options that will ensure their continued success into the future.

Per FoxSports.au:

Barcelona have reportedly won the race to sign Brazil sensation Neymar by securing a $71 million deal for the striker.

Barcelona is understood to have made a down-payment for the star which guarantees his transfer to the reigning FIFA Club World Cup champion.

Neymar is already a star in world football even though he has never played in a major footballing league. His talent is extraordinary, and since he's just 20 years old, he will continue to improve and get better.

Playing alongside world-class talents such as Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabgregas at Barcelona would also give Neymar a chance to further his development and reach his full potential.

Off the pitch, his marketability would also be a major part of his value to Barcelona. Anyone who stars at Barcelona is going to be a popular player, but if he reaches the potential that people say he has and becomes the best player in the world, the Brazilian could become a global icon.

If Neymar continues his development and becomes a great player, Barcelona could purchase him from Santos for a record fee, and it would still be worth every penny.

When you have the opportunity to bring a once-in-a-lifetime player to your club, you have to be aggressive and finalize the deal.

Neymar is going to be a fantastic player for a long time, and Barcelona is the perfect club for him to shine at.
