Neymar may not have hit the same peaks during his time at PSG, but there is little doubt that he is amongst the best in the world.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elwood_white\/status\/1688462135641223168?s=46&amp;t=1Rw1VYaHMEKKfPCZNK0SVg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jordi Blanco Duch of ESPN<\/a>, Neymar Jr is closer to signing for the\u00a0<em>Blaugranas<\/em>\u00a0than Bernardo Silva. This comes as a surprising development, for the Portuguese star has been on the Catalans\u2019 radar for a long time now.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xavi vs the rest again?<\/h2>\n<p>Xavi Hernandez and the administration have largely worked in tandem over the past year to return the club to its former glory.<\/p>\n<p>However, there have been sporadic occasions where the two parties have not seen eye to eye in terms of signings.<\/p>\n<p>Neymar Jr could be the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/barcauniversal.com\/barcelona-president-would-like-to-re-sign-neymar-but-xavi-has-doubts-romero\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest entrant on that list<\/a>. Xavi is not very keen on signing the Brazilian and feels his time as a\u00a0<em>Blaugrana<\/em>\u00a0is over.<\/p>\n<p>However, many in the administration see no wrong in bringing in a player of his quality if the finances can accommodate it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City find Barcelona\u2019s bid for Silva absurd<\/h2>\n<p>Yesterday, reports surfaced that the Catalans had submitted a bid for Xavi\u2019s priority, Bernardo Silva.<\/p>\n<p>The offer was said to be a loan move with the option to make it permanent for \u20ac50 million. Given that the player\u2019s valuation stands at \u20ac80 million, City reportedly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/barcauniversal.com\/barcelona-make-formal-loan-offer-and-e50-million-buy-option-for-man-city-heavyweight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">found the offer absurd<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>City do not want to sell the star this summer. However, with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/barcauniversal.com\/bernardo-silva-tells-guardiola-he-wants-to-leave-man-city-for-barcelona-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silva conveying his desire<\/a>\u00a0to leave to Pep Guardiola, it remains to be seen if matters take a drastic turn.<\/p>\n<p>For now, a move for Neymar appears to be gaining a lot of weight, but Xavi still needs to be convinced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neymar Jr\u2019s departure from Barcelona was arguably where the Catalans\u2019 downfall began.
