In addition, Spurs have been told they must pay a loan  fee of €30m (£28m/$34m). Standing in the way, however, is the imminent closure of the English  transfer window on Thursday, August 8 at 1700 BST. Despite PSG  originally not wanting to sell to Barca, they have now reached an accord  – but things rest on whether Coutinho heads to London or not.Should the deal go through, the 27-year-old would be on a similar  salary to Spurs captain Harry Kane, who is said to make £200,000 ($243k)  per week. Another, smaller piece of the transfer puzzle is the matter of the  demands made of Neymar by president Josep Bartomeu. The Blaugrana felt  stung in several ways by the manner in which the Brazilian left and as  such have made clear what he needs to do to to get back in the good  books. Top of the list is dropping a court case in which Neymar is seeking  to claim €30m (£28m/$34m) from Barca, a bonus he believes he is owed for  signing a renewal with the Catalan side before his move to France.In addition, should he return to Catalunya, the club want the player  to publicly admit that he made a mistake in leaving in the first place.  Lastly, a decrease in salary must be agreed, although the fact that  the first part of the operation is a loan move might see that shelved  until Neymar is a fully-fledged Barcelona player once again. The Spanish champions will kick off their defence of La Liga with a trip to San Mames to face Athletic Bilbao on August 16.</blockquote>
