Barcelona's chances of re-signing Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain have been significantly harmed by the departure of Philippe Coutinho to Bayern Munich, according to a report.

PSG have remained stubborn over their demands for wantaway star Neymar, with Barcelona required to pay at least £91.3m in cash, as well as two players in part exchange.

According to L'Equipe, Coutinho was one of the few players that PSG were interested in receiving as part of the deal.

Another player that interests the French champions is Ousmane Dembele, although the Frenchman does not want to leave the Camp Nou.

Barcelona's budget has not been significantly bolstered by Coutinho's loan move to Bayern Munich, with the La Liga champions believed to have between £36.5m and £46.5m left in their transfer kitty this summer.

The Blaugrana suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at Athletic Bilbao in the opening match of their latest La Liga defence on Friday night.
