Barcelona Transfer News: Latest on Neymar and Sofiane Boufal Rumours

Barcelona are "alarmed" by Paris Saint-Germain's interest in Neymar, with the Brazil superstar's chances of signing a new deal at the Camp Nou rated at only "50 per cent."

Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo (h/t Tom Farmery of MailOnline) reported Barca are wary of interest from the Ligue 1 champions, as PSG prepare to offer the attacker a salary of £39 million.

The Blaugrana are said to be "uncertain" of retaining one-third of their MSN trinity of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, as the French club attempt to strengthen after the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Neymar is under contract to the Catalan giants until 2018, according to Farmery, after signing from Santos in 2013, and it's "understood" Barcelona director of football Raul Sanllehi has travelled to Brazil to convince the player to remain in Spain.

PSG have been left with a gaping hole in their attack after Ibrahimovic decided to leave the Ligue 1 champions, and Neymar could take the starring role at the Parc des Princes, stepping out of the shadow of Messi in La Liga.

The quality of the French league is not the highest, but PSG would offer Neymar a solid platform in the UEFA Champions League as the club's top talent.

Here is a video of the forward's best moments for his current club:

The 24-year-old was in scintillating form last season as Barca claimed the Liga and Copa del Rey, but there was disappointment in Europe as the club tripped up against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Neymar scored 27 goals in the Spanish league and Europe in 43 appearances last term, according to WhoScored.com.

Boufal’s representative Yvan Le Mee told Le 10 Sport (h/t James Benge of the London Evening Standard) the player has significant interest from Luis Enrique:

"

We did have a meeting with the leadership of FC Barcelona in the last few weeks. There is an interest.

Now the reflection is whether Sofiane Boufal will go to Barcelona to compete with MSN (Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar) or should he go to a club where he is going to start matches and express his exceptional talent.

We have also initiated discussions with three other clubs that interest us, but they either have or will change their coach or the coach is in charge of a national team at the Euros. In England, there is interest, but the English market is just beginning. A transfer of 20 and 25 million euros is not resolved in two weeks, of course.

"

It is unimaginable to think of Barca's starting XI without Neymar, but Boufal could fill a gap in the attack while they plan ahead, should the Brazilian depart.

PSG are becoming increasingly powerful in European football, and the thought of living in Paris is hugely appealing to many from outside of the continent.

Neymar has been excellent during his stint with the Blaugrana, and it wouldn't be surprising if PSG break the bank to bring in a talent who could compete with the legend of Ibrahimovic.
