According to Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo, Neymar still has the desire to return to Barcelona after his relationship with PSG Sporting Director Leonardo has broken down. It is said that Neymar will use a FIFA Clause in his contract to push for a move away from the French giant’s after spending three seasons there.

Neymar has made 20 appearances for PSG this season, scoring 16 goals and assisting 6 times. Just last month, PSG director Leonardo stated that Neymar is ‘committed’ to the club. ‘Today, if we talk about the pitch, what are we saying? He is committed, very happy and a fantastic player. He is very fit. We are happy to have him. Wonderful.’ He said.
If Neymar decides to leave in the summer, his release clause would be £157 million, which is £31 million less than what Barcelona sold him for. The Brazilian is yet to renew his contract with PSG and Barcelona will see this as a good opportunity to sign him. Lionel Messi has also expressed his desire of hoping to see ‘good friend’ Neymar back at the club and looks like the two behemoths may be seen in the Red and Blue of Blaugrana from next season.
