The Neymar transfer saga is going to drag on for a while longer. 

This is after PSG rejected Barcelona's latest bid for the Brazilian superstar. 

According to French reports, in addition to 118 million pounds cash, Barca were also offering Ivan Rakitic and Jean-Clair Todibo on permanent transfers, and Ousmane Dembele on a season-long loan.

However, PSG turned down the move because they want more money, having spent nearly 200 million pounds to sign Neymar just two years ago.
