Barça would take Ney on loan, but with an obligatory buy clause that comes into effect next season. And in order for the deal to go through, Rakiti\u0107 would go the other way, resulting in a lowered fee for Barça to pay.
The final approval comes down to PSG, but Barça think the only way to get it done is if a player goes the other way, per the report. It is said that only two players that interest the Parisians are the Croatian and Ousmane Dembélé.
