Neymar: the end or just the start?

I lied to you. I'm sorry. It wasn't intentional, but it was a lie at the end of the day. Excuse the self-criticism, but in July I signed off by saying that "we will catch up in September with the Neymar saga resolved." But in the moment of delivering those words, the issue was still not closed and it didn't seem like the Sheikh was going to budge. In SPORT we warned that there was a Neymar case, with meetings, secret dates, insults from fans, ultimatums... all at the speed of digital and with the impact of Twitter. Much more exciting than the outcome of La Case de Papel... 

Barcelona fans have suffered to the point of a heart attack and even Josep Pedrerol, who has a good nose for what works on television, launched a challenge a few days ago. "If at 10pm Neymar signs for Barça or Real Madrid, at 12am we will be here with a special Chiringuito," he said, adding that if the news came out at 11.45pm, the show would be 12.30am "because we have to arrive from where we are." In Paris they asked Barcelona to "Show me the money" but Barcelona didn't know how to find the cash. Player exchange deals with Dembele and Rakitic weren't good enough. The whole saga has not been an example of discretion. Why not? That is the million-dollar question.
