Barcelona make room in transfer budget to bring forward Neymar deal

Published on: 01 August 2012

With Barca having surrendered the title to Real Madrid last season, they so far have only added fullback Jordi Alba from Valencia.

The absence of more signings, says Sport, suggests Barca are planning one big name capture - with Neymar the man high on their agenda.
