The world must have gone crazy or is pretty close to coming to an end as Paris Saint-Germain are set to shatter the world record for the most expensive player in the world.
The French giants are set to pay Barcelona €222million for the services of the Brazilian striker according to Sky Sports. The deal has been in the doldrums for a while but now it seems closer than ever and that has gotten a lot of people talking about it.
Neymar moving for this much money means Barcelona will add someone to their side as well and that could be Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian has been linked with a move to the Catalan side with reports of Liverpool even rejecting a €100million bid doing the rounds recently (RMC via Sport).
Now with additional cash, the La Liga giants could come up with a greater bid and it will be tough to see how we do our best to keep hold of the team’s main man. Liverpool fans are certainly in a bit of a panic as Coutinho could be the next Luis Suarez leaving the side and here are some of the best reactions regarding the Brazilian replacing the PSG bound star.

Neymar going to PSG means Coutinho could got to Barcelona which means Lanzini could go to Liverpool

If Neymar is worth €220 odd we have to hold Barcelona to atleast €190 and Messi for Coutinho

Coutinho will now be the subject of a huge Barcelona bid. Really hope we can keep hold of him for another year

If we sell coutinho to Barcelona we better get at least £120 million!!!!

Neymar’s departure imo MAYBE caused by Barcelona’s failure to land Coutinho.
