The money talked about at that level is effectively abstract to me now. It's as difficult for me to conceptualise 200m spent on a player as it is 1bn, or almost any price, if I'm honest. I can only look at this deal in terms of how it affects players and teams. Barca lose a great player and gain 200m they probably don't need. PSG get a great player and lose 200m they'll hardly notice. Neymar gets a team built around him, but in a league that few outside France watch or are interested in. I agree with h8kurdt: he'll never win a Ballon D'or at PSG, even if he deserves to. Ultimately PSG are the only real winners here - besides Neymar's dad, of course.
