Neymar Edges Closer to PSG Exit as Barcelona and Real Madrid Maintain Interest

The relationship between Neymar and the club’s hierarchy ?at Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly broken down as the Brazilian could be heading for an exit this summer.

Neymar became the most expensive player in footballing history when he made the £200m-plus move from Barcelona to PSG in 2017 in a bid to escape the shadow of Lionel Messi, but his days in France could now be numbered.

The attacker is reportedly keen to move to a club with more serious hopes of winning the ?Champions League, as PSG have continually failed in the competition despite huge investment in the playing and management staff.

In reality, the Brazilian has found that his superiority in Ligue 1 has led to him being targeted by opposition more often, meaning he has picked up injuries more frequently.

A return to the Catalan giants looked unlikely this time last year, but recent developments have made it look more and more feasible. PSG are reportedly interested in Phillippe Coutinho, which could help negotiations progress even further.
