It will be the most stunning European football transfer since Real Madrid snatched Luis Figo back in 2000, and once again Barcelona will be the victims.

Neymar, poised to step out of the shadow of Lionel Messi and into the spotlight at the Parc des Princes, was the player the Catalans boasted about beating the rest of Europe to in 2013.

But they are on the brink of losing him after only four years, for a fee that will smash the existing transfer record.

Neymar has played for Barcelona since 2013 but could now be set for a huge move to PSG

I don't think that will happen,' said Barcelona's technical secretary Robert Fernandez on Monday when asked if a club would meet Neymar's €222million (£196m) buy-out clause.

If that was throwing down the gauntlet to PSG chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi he seems increasingly convinced that accepting the challenge is what it will take to make the French side Champions League winners.
