Recent rumors are out that Paris Saint-Germain is keen on snagging Brazilian winger Neymar from Barcelona this summer and that his agent is positive that the French capital city team can afford his €193 million transfer price tag.
ESPN indicated that the 24-year-old Seleção captain's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, has disclosed that "the Barcelona forward 'loves' Paris and believes Paris Saint-Germain are capable of meeting his €193 million release clause".

"A contract can also be terminated provided that the release clause is paid. It's huge: €193m. But I don't think that might be an insurmountable problem for PSG," Ribeiro said.
However, the agent also clarified that Neymar is happy in Barcelona and that the fans reciprocate the feeling as well.
"What I can confirm to you is that Neymar has a contract with Barça until 2018," he said. "He feels good in Barcelona, he's liked over there and he's playing for the best team in the world.
"It's no small feat to impose yourself at such an enormous club. But the prospect of living in a city like Paris and to play for a club like PSG - that's also a dream for every player. We'll see in two years, when he will be at the end of his contract," Ribeiro added.
Local French news outlet L'Equipe has also recently reported that Neymar has become Les Parisiens number one target in the coming summer transfer window, although there are no indications if the 5-foot-9 Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil native would be open to exiting what is arguably the best football team in the world right at the moment.
Neymar still has two years left in his current contract with the Camp Nou giants and the player's father revealed in February that the negotiations for a highly probable contract extension will begin this May.
Meanwhile, Caught Offside noted that it "would seem illogical" for the Brazil international to consider leaving the La Liga champions' side as he is one of the three fabled superstars in Luis Enrique's roster and he is also currently playing with two of the best footballers in the world today, Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez.
The possibility of winning every available trophy in the world is also something that could prevent Neymar from leaving Barça at this point of his career, although money can become a huge factor as PSG is allegedly prepared to break the bank in getting the Brazilian.
