It's official

Paris St-Germain have signed Brazil forward Neymar for a world record fee of 222m euros (£200m) from Barcelona.

The deal for the 25-year-old smashes the previous record set when Paul Pogba returned to Manchester United from Juventus for £89m in August 2016.

Neymar will earn 45m euros (£40.7m) a year - 865,000 euros (£782,000) a week - before tax from the initial five-year deal, a total outlay of £400m.

Of course they won't offer 200 million, my point is if an offer comes in that the owners deem to be far enough over their valuation of the player to make it worth their while they will accept, regardless of what they said to klopp.

The question is what is the figure that would make them sell.

Imagine they offered enough to cover both VVD and Keita transfers

I don't think they will bid enough, I mean.

We were going to sign them both anyway.

Possibly not.

Yeah it's official this is the watershed moment in football, Barca having to sell one of their best players. When they didn't want to, and receiving a few in excess of £200m

Absolute bonkers that amount of money..

I know PSG are loaded with cash but surely any new signings now are going to want £300/400k a week?

I really hoped this wouldn't happen.

I think FSG will not be able to resist a convincing offer from a club now drowning in excess cash.

Football went over a precipice today, probably unrecoverably so.

Klopp isn't the one who sells players though, obviously klopp doesn't want to lose him but it's not up to him, it's up to the owners. It really depends on whether the owners will turn away any offer so that klopp has his best chance at bringing success or if an offer they deem too good to turn down comes in.

I mean tbh I love Coutinho and don't want him sold but even I'd sell him if we got an absolutely stupid offer like 150 mil (wont happen).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And Klopp has had reassurance from the owners that he won't be sold.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Every player has heir price if a stupid enough amount comes in.

If Barca offered that 200 million they got from Neymar to us tomorrow the owners would accept.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And if they did I think there's a chance that Jurgen would walk.
