Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar closing in on Barcelona return?

Barcelona have reportedly been left encouraged in their bid to secure a reunion with Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar.

The Brazilian left Camp Nou for Parc des Princes during the summer of 2017, although the forward has been frequently linked with a return to Spain.

PSG appeared ready to keep Neymar in France for at least another campaign as club officials maintain their quest to claim the Champions League trophy.

Barcelona have made a breakthrough in discussions, however, with Globe Sports suggesting that PSG are open to accepting £90m plus a player for the 27-year-old.

The report adds that Samuel Umtiti, Ivan Rakitic and Ousmane Dembele are all under consideration as PSG consider which areas they wish to strengthen ahead of the new season.

Manchester United are also said to be monitoring any developments with Neymar.
