Paris Saint-Germain attacker Neymar reportedly moves closer to re-joining Barcelona in a £157m deal.

Neymar has reportedly moved closer to securing a return to Barcelona this summer after seeing his relationship with Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo break down.

The Brazil international was strongly linked with a move to Camp Nou ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, but the Spanish champions could not come to an agreement with PSG over a transfer fee.

A recent report claimed that Neymar would be open to remaining in France providing that the capital giants agree to meet his substantial wage demands.

However, according to Mundo Deportivo, the 28-year-old is still determined to return to Spain amid a 'climate of tension' with Leonardo.

The report claims that Barca would have to pay in the region of £157m in order to secure a deal for the South American, who would want wages of around £400,000 a week at Camp Nou.

Neymar's commitment to PSG continues to be called into question, but the attacker has produced on the field this season, scoring 16 times and providing 10 assists in 20 appearances in all competitions.
