Barcelona remain determined to bring Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar back to Camp Nou and will launch a renewed transfer offensive in the summer window. The Brazilian was involved in a long-running transfer saga this summer, but PSG eventually refused to budge despite Neymar’s clear desire to return to his former club. This summer, they also engineered deals for Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann and Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong, but will be fully focused on Neymar next time around. It is understood that Barcelona hope to raise around half the likely transfer fee of €222 million (£190m/$246m) through player sales, Goal reports. Neymar will be a year older and with a year less on his contract, though much could depend on his form in the Champions League knockout stages.
