Paris Saint-Germain have reduced their asking price for star man Neymar as Barcelona face a race to complete a transfer.
Negotiations with the French giants had seemingly proved to be difficult for Barca, who are attempting to re-sign the forward who left Camp Nou in a £200million deal in 2017.
And a deal looked only to be a pipe dream a few weeks ago, however with the La Liga champions interest and Neymar's willingness to leave, PSG have now decided to sell the 27-year-old.
According to Sport, PSG were reportedly previously asking for a whopping €300m for the Brazilian.
And now The Ligue 1 champions have now reduced their asking price to €180million, almost halving their previous price.
However, it is understood that Les Parisiens are only willing to accept cash and are not interested in a player exchange.
Barcelona's enquires into the forwards availability were met with PSG's Brazil legend sporting director, Leonardo, who is in favour of moving him on.
PSG boss Thomas Tuchel and Leonardo have looked at various possibilities and agree with the club's owners, Qatar Sports Investments, and the club's CEO, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, that a player exchange in order to reduce price would leave the club as the 'losers' in the deal.
On the other hand, Barca have created a number of player swap scenarios - with Philippe Coutinho the more likely player to be used (other scenarios included Malcom).
But the Parc des Princes club are firm that they only want a transfer fee.
An exit for Neymar for cash would help the club to fall in line with UEFA's FFP regulations and give them a chance to sign a couple of new players.
Since his arrival in 2017, Neymar has scored 51 goals in 58 appearances in all competitions.
