Neymar's incredible comeback to Barcelona could be one of this summer's biggest and most controversial transfers. Meanwhile, Barcelona is already analysing all possible options for the Brazilian's transfer to materialize.

Rumours and comments about Neymar's possible return have been ringing loudly since practically the same day he left Barcelona, but now his return seems closer than ever.

After Nasser Al-Khelaïfi's words, it seems that the destiny of the number '10' is closer and closer to Barcelona, who have changed their tune regarding the player's comeback. 

Although originally Neymar's exit left a sour aftertaste, the club has recently changed their tune and it is, therefore, analyzing how to make a reality the now dreamed return.

According to 'Marca', there are several options that are currently being considered, with all of them including a swap of players in order to make a gigantic operation cheaper.

'Le Parisien' claims that PSG has valued Neymar at 300 million euros, a price that Barça would try and lower with Coutinho, Dembele, Rakitic and Umtiti.

In the first possible scenario, the whole of Barcelona would include one of the duos formed by Coutinho and Dembéle and the other formed by Rakitic and Umtiti, adding to the pack of two players an amount of 100 million euros.

The amount in cash, however, would be subject to the possible arrival of Matthijs de Ligt in Barça, who could increase their economic offer in case the Dutchman is not signed.

In that case, Barça could offer a figure of around 150 million, adding these to Coutinho or Dembélé as a swap. 

And it could also be tempting for PSG to let Neymar out in exchange for the two players plus a lower amount of around 50 million euros.

Those are Barcelona's current options, a club that will be much busier than initially expected in this summer's transfer market.
