Neymar's record-breaking move to PSG would not only impact La Liga and Ligue 1, but it would set off a chain of up to nine big signings in the Premier League.

Neymar's £195m move to Paris Saint-Germain could bring serious consequences to English football. Sky Sports compiled a list of hypothetical transfers which could be triggered by the 25-year-old's move to France.

1. Neymar to PSG

The Brazilian's transfer would give Barcelona £195 million to spend as they look for a replacement.

2. Coutinho to Barcelona

Liverpool have agreed to negotiate their star's exit, and Barca could offer up to £89m.

3. Van Dijk to Liverpool

The Reds would have the funds to close the signing of their top target in defence. He would cost around £60 million.

4. Wimmer to Southampton

The Saint would try to snatch up Van Dijk's replacement: £20 million Kevin Wimmer from Spurs.

5. Barkley to Tottenham

Tottenham would launch a bid for Everton's Ross Barkley, valued at £50m.

6. Sigurdsson to Everton

The Toffees could use the cash to make another move for midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson. Swansea want between £40m and £50m.

7. Bony to Swansea

Wilfried Bony could make a move back to south Wales after the Swans free up space on the pay roll. The Ivory Coast man would cost around £25 million.

8. Llorente to Chelsea

Conte tried to sign him in January, and the Spaniard could leave for Stamford Bridge once Swansea have strengthened their attack.

9. Costa to Atletico

Antonio Conte would be forced to offload Diego Costa if yet another centre-forward arrives.

10. Alex Sandro to Chelsea

Costa's transfer could finance the signing of Alex Sandro, after Conte made a move for the Juventus man earlier this summer. The Brazilian would cost £70m.
