- Brazil forward Neymar is reportedly interested in rejoining his former club Barcelona this summer

- The 26-year-old sealed a £198m move away from the Camp Nou last summer

- He suffered an ankle injury in his side's 3-0 win over Marseille last month and he is not expected back on the pitch until after three months

Paris Saint Germain superstar Neymar is reportedly considering a move back to Barcelona this summer barely a season after joining the Parisians in August 2017.

The 26-year-old forward became the most expensive player in the world having sealed a five-year deal valued at £198 million with the French Ligue 1 side last year.

Yet, the move which was initiated to give the Brazilian the opportunity to evolve from Lionel Messi's shadow isn’t materialisng at the moment as his impact some of the big games has been minimal.

Meanwhile, according to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the former Santos FC striker told the current La Liga side he would be willing to return to the club just before he broke his metatarsal late last month.

It was also revealed by the Spanish tabloid that Neymar has realized he was blinded by PSG’s financial muscle having being led to believe he was hamstrung by the Argentine superstar.

And in a bid to rejoin Barcelona, he has reportedly contacted some important personalities at the club to know what he can do to return this summer, having originally planned to stay until 2019.

On the other hand, PSG owners will not let their star striker go without putting up a fight, and they have slammed a £355m price tag for their No 10 according to AS.

The club’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, has never been bullied into letting one his players leave since he took over the club in 2011, despite the Real Madrid efforts to land the player in the future.

Neymar has scored 29 goals in 30 appearances for the Parisians in all competitions this season, meanwhile six of those goals came in the Champions’ League group stage.

He has also been ruled out for the remainder of the 2017/18 league season owing to the ankle injury he suffered late last month in PSG’s 3-0 win over Marseille in a cup game.

Having undergone ankle surgery in Brazil earlier this month, the star striker has commenced his recovery process ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup staging in Russia this summer.
