Barcelona's summer has been underwhelming so far, but it could turn into a disaster if they lose Neymar.Of course, the Brazilian is linked with a move away from the Nou Camp every summer.This time, the reports are more widespread than ever and it genuinely looks as if a move to Paris Saint-Germain is on the cards.It's thought that the 25-year-old, tired of living in Lionel Messi's shadow, wants to join the Ligue 1 runners-up so he can finally surpass his team-mate and become the best player in the world.That logic is a little flawed, as it's going to be difficult for him to prove himself in a significantly weaker league.Yet, it appears that Neymar has made his mind up.Barcelona have done their best to convince him not to go, with defender Gerard Pique even responding to the rumours by tweeting: "He stays."

The reality is that Pique knows nothing of the kind, as he has since admitted.

And while Catalan-based publication Sport are normally the first to put a positive spin on stories relating to the Blaugrana, they have provided fans with a worrying update.

Barca players expect him to go

The news outlet claim that Neymar's team-mates have interpreted his continued silence as a sign he wants to leave, as they have been expecting him to release a public statement or at least post something on social media to address the rumours.

He has failed to do that and the club are now said to be "pessimistic" about their chances of warding off PSG's advances.

All of Barca's key players have spoken to the forward, who is giving nothing away. They all want him to remain part of the dressing room and have told him so in person.

The €222million attached to the former Santos star's release clause would certainly do Barca no harm, but this is still a problem Ernesto Valverde will not have been expecting to contend with when he took the job just months ago.
