Neymar is closing in on a sensational return to Barcelona with Ousmane Dembele, Ivan Rakitic and Samuel Umtiti set to be used as makeweight for the Brazilian star. Recent reports in France have claimed the 27-year-old sees his future elsewhere and that PSG will let him leave providing a suitable offer is received. According to Globe Sports, Barcelona have held talks with high-ranking officials at PSG and are confident of striking a deal for Neymar to return this summer. Neymar, who is currently out injured after damaging the ligaments in his ankle earlier this month, only left Barcelona for PSG in 2017 in a world-record £198m deal. Real Madrid had also expressed an interest in Neymar but now seem set to miss out on his signature to their arch-rivals.
