Report: Three teams ready to pay Neymar’s buy-out clause

According to Spanish outlet Sport, three teams are ready and willing to pay Neymar’s massive 200 million buy-out clause.

There are few players on the planet more sought after than Barcelona star Neymar. The 24-year-old burst onto the scene with Brazilian club Santos, and had been pursued by the biggest clubs across Europe before ultimately signing with Barcelona in the summer of 2013.

While the Blaugrana paid quite a pretty penny for the Brazilian phenom, it seems to have been well worth it. In just his first  three seasons with the club, he has already won two domestic doubles, a UEFA Champions League, a FIFA Club World Cup, and a UEFA Super Cup.

However, according to Spanish outlet Sport, the superstar may not be at the Camp Nou very much longer. Although he has a contract to remain with Barcelona until 2022, there are three European clubs willing to pay the massive €200 million buy-out clause to sign the striker.

Bleacher Report suggests that the three clubs interested in the player and able to pay the incredible fee are Manchester United, Paris St-Germain, and Barcelona’s biggest rivals, Real Madrid.

It remains to be see whether there is any truth to the speculation, but it is not hard to imagine that all three clubs would love nothing more than to sign the Brazilian. At just 24 years of age, Neymar is just entering the prime of his career. He may also be tempted to move away from the Camp Nou to get out of the shadow of Lionel Messi.

Despite all the rumors, Neymar has his attention on the summer Olympics where he will represent Brazil at the games in Rio.
