Barcelona superstar Neymar’s agent has claimed that there are three clubs who are willing to trigger the Brazilian’s mammoth release clause at the moment and snare him away from the Nou Camp.
Neymar has only two years left on his contract with Barcelona, but he has been talks with the club over a new five-year deal which would extend his stay at the Nou Camp until at least 2021.
The Brazilian’s current deal contains an eye watering release clause believed to be between €190m to €200m, but Barcelona are confident that most clubs would not even think about paying such vast sums for him.
However, his agent Wagner Ribeiro has claimed that there are three clubs who at the moment are ready to trigger the release clause in his client’s contract, but he refused to divulge further information.
He was quoted by Marca as telling Brazilian radio station Radio Jovem Pan: “Today, there are three clubs in the world who want to sign Neymar and pay the €200m release clause to Barcelona.
