A report claims that Neymar is to head straight to France after Barcelona's pre-season tour of the United States to finalise a £192m transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

Barcelona forward Neymar reportedly has his sights set on joining Paris Saint-Germain and could finalise a record-breaking transfer in the next fortnight.

The 25-year-old is wanted by French giants PSG, despite having a whopping £192m release clause inserted in his Camp Nou contract.

Barca have warned the Parisians off making a move for one of their star talents, while the player himself suggested earlier this week that he is "happy" in Catalonia.

That has not stopped speculation over a move to Paris from mounting, though, with Spanish outlet Sport reporting that Neymar will not return to Barcelona following the club's tour of the United States.

It is claimed that he will instead head straight to the French capital to help finalise a transfer, having grown unhappy at playing second fiddle to fellow superstar forward Lionel Messi.

Neymar has scored 105 goals in 186 matches for Barca, adding a further 59 assists in that time.
