Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar, has told Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, the club he wants to join this summer.
Neymar has been heavily linked with a move away from PSG to Real Madrid in recent months.
The 27-year-old joined the French Ligue 1 champions from Barcelona in a £200million deal two years ago.
However, Catalan newspaper, Sport, is reporting that Neymar, a former teammate with Messi during his time at Barcelona, told the Argentine captain that he wants to return to Barcelona this summer’s transfer window.
PSG manager, Thomas Tuchel, had admitted last week that both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe could leave the club this summer.
“As a coach, I do want them [Neymar and Mbappe] to continue, but this is football — we are not naïve,” Tuchel said at a news conference last week.
“Many clubs want to transfer many players and the market is crazy, but if you ask me, I want them here next season.
“But if they are not, we will find solutions.”
