'L'Équipe' have revealed the deal that Leonardo is looking to secure in order to sell Neymar this summer

Paris Saint Germain (PSG) have accepted FC Barcelona's proposal of including a player as part-exchange in a deal for Neymar but, according to 'L'Equipe', they want two players and at least €100m in cash.

Leonardo rejected the idea of letting Neymar leave on loan almost immediately as cash is required in order to fund their own moves in the market.

The figure of €100m is seen as a minimum on PSG's side, along with two players of their choosing. They are interested in Philippe Coutinho (27), Nelson Semedo (25) and Ousmane Dembélé (22) but not Ivan Rakitic (31). This is due to the fact they've already brought in two midfielders this summer in Idrissa Gueye and Ander Herrera.

Barça would prefer to only include one player and feel PSG are drastically undervaluing those mentioned. This is on top of another €100m which, after the purchase of Antoine Griezmann for €120m, won't be easy either. 

Talks haven't progressed since Wednesday and more are unlikely to take place today. 

Neymar continues to train on his own as he looks to recover from his ankle injury. He's unlikely to make the squad for PSG's second match of the season.
