'I don't want to continue here, I want to go home, where I should never have left!': Neymar 'tells PSG once and for all that he wants Barcelona return'

Neymar has told Paris Saint-Germain he 'wants to go home' and admits he should 'never have left' Barcelona.

The Brazilian swapped Barcelona for Paris in 2017 for a world-record fee of £198million.



But his future with the Ligue 1 champions has remained a constant source of debate, with reports in Spain revealing he has finally told the club his stance as he pushes for a move back to Barcelona. 

The front page of Wednesday's Mundo Deportivo runs with the report about Neymar's wishes

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel, as report Mundo Deportivo, is said to be exasperated by the 'problems' Neymar creates in the dressing room and is not against a potential departure.

The £198m man has now made private feelings about wanting a move back to Barcelona known to the PSG board as he steps up his exit plan.

Neymar is reported to have told PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi: 'I do not want to play more in PSG. I want to go back to my house, where I should never have left.'


Further to Neymar's desire to return to the Nou Camp this summer, Lionel Messi wants to see the Brazilian come back, according to El Mundo.

Their report details that the Catalan giants could try to 'transfer their existing agreement for Atletico Madrid ace Antoine Griezmann' directly to PSG, in a bid to secure Neymar. 

Griezmann, who looks set to swap Madrid for Barcelona, would then go to PSG and Neymar would return to Spain.

Relationship between Neymar and the club appear to have soured in recent months with president Al-Khelaifi taking a swipe at the forward in a interview this week.

'I want players willing to give everything to defend the honour of the jersey and to join the club project,' he said in an interview with France Football.

But PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has reportedly been told by the player he wants to leave

'Those who do not want, or do not understand, we see each other and we talk to each other.

'There are of course contracts to be respected, but the priority now is total membership of our project.

'Nobody forced him to sign here. Nobody pushed him. He came knowingly to join a project.'

Neymar's contract in Paris runs until 2022 but with interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid, few expect him to see out his contract. 

The Brazilian is currently sidelined through an ankle ligament injury, missing the entire Copa America and so his club future is the big talking point around the player right now.
