What is their end goal here though? Barca have let him go from training to complete this move, so they have resigned to the fact it is happening. Are La Liga telling barca no, you can have him back?

Got there in the end sorry guys
Not sure how this whole release clause thing works then.
Got there in the end sorry guys
If they stop the move happening and PSG are willing to pay the release clause then Barca will be in breach of contract and Neymar will leave for free instead.
As insightful as ever!
I'm not entirely sure how to respond to someone that reckons Mbappe "has done little more" than Rashford. I'll need a few days just to understand the stupidity behind it.
Fully agree. Rashford too had a very impressive first season.
Rashford has scored against Chelsea, Arsenal and City...So Mbappe's exploits in UCL aren't anything special.
If Rashford trains hard enough and develops well, he could be our KANE
What is the justification for rejecting the payment from PSG?
Got there in the end sorry guys
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ha ha ha ha ha ha
Feck Barca and i suppose Feck PSG too.
This is gonna run and run
Being a bunch of hypocritical cry babies.
They have none, all face saving.
The move will go through with or without their consent.
If we can get him for a fee below £50m then ok. Considering his age and injury problems, he's not worth much more than that
Did Liverpool refuse to sell to Arsenal when they activated Suarez's release clause?
Would love to see Uefa smack a transfer ban on Barcelona for refusing the payments. Would be hilarious.
It is not La liga's job to enforce Ffp, so rejecting payment on that basis surely puts someone in breach of contract somewhere.
It is just point making though and it will go through.

Barca and Real have been managing to get some of the best talents just before or as soon as they enter their prime years - Stoichkov, Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckham, Owen, Ronaldinho, Figo, Kaka, Zlatan, Ronaldo, Bale, James, Neymar, Suarez are some of the players that I have watched and come on top of my head. I can't recall of a player ever leaving one of those two to progress somewhere else. Usually the players who leave those clubs are deemed unsuccessful or not good enough or over the hill.
That has a massive pull on all the fans, massive marketing potential for both the league and those two. Now for the first time one of the best players in the world, instead of joining them is leaving them. La Liga officials are surely against such move, as it would weaker the marketing strength and status of the league. I'm sure Real Madrid are behind Barcelona on this one.
4D chess from Real, using the La Liga to screw Barca over?
This looks pretty embarrassing for la liga, surely this can't actually be considered legal ?
Suarez didn't have one.
Got there in the end sorry guys
Spain trying to play the upstanding citizen in football. What´s next? They apply for the WADA and IMF presidency with an presentation of the international taxation of natural supplements and medical supplies?
The salt is amazing.
Wtf have La Liga got to do with it anyway? Neymar has a contract clause, PSG are paying that clause end of.
If this goes to court La Liga will be ripped to pieces.

While we're all here playing checkers too.
"Hey Bale, come to United."
"Feck off! Northerns would fall about laughing at my bun hairstyle!"
Ah I thought Arsenal bid 40 million and £1 or something?
They fell for the rumour. Supposedly.
Barca aren't refusing it?
It's not. I'm guessing they want to drag it out for a month and then be like "sorry the transfer window is closed". What they really need is that dodgy fax machine.
Michael Jackson popcorn gif.

What does it matter that 'they refused'? He's got a fecking clause, PSG are paying it, what are they trying to cling on to?
Got there in the end sorry guys
Feckin hell basically la liga saying they won't honor player contracts.
Me and Damian were talking about this the other day. Wenger has since said he didn't have a clause but Liverpool's owners have said that he did and they just ignored it.
It is clear as mud.
Everyone knows that La Liga release clauses are just for Barca and Real to hoover up players without negotiating, not to sell them.
Sounds like the Neymar deal is dead after all. I never believed he'd go to PSG and ruin his legacy and reputation.
Not a chance in hell. The best we could hope for is 55-75 I think, Perez would want to at least recoup his original fee and even more. Yes hes that insane.
That's my understanding of the situation.
Got there in the end sorry guys
How precious. What if the FA decide they won't be bullied by Barcelona when they try to sign Coutinho?
There is no chance he can go back to barca now though.
seems to be the most popular theory in catalunya
Never seen anyone so desperate for something to happen on here that isn't in anyway related to us. How much money did you put on him staying at Barca?
He's moving to PSG, I am so very sorry.
Confirmed.
Seem to remember Suarez taking the issue to the FA and the FA ruling in liverpool's favour?
