Reports of Neymar “begging” for a return to Barcelona have been branded “fake news” by the Paris Saint-Germain star’s father.
A potential return to Camp Nou for the Brazil international continues to be mooted in each passing transfer window.
He departed Catalunya back in 2017 as part of a record-breaking €222 million (£199m/$255m) deal.
Speculation regarding a second spell in Spanish football has circulated from the moment that agreement went through.
Real Madrid were considered to be leading the chase at one stage, with Neymar fitting the ‘Galactico’ mould at the Santiago Bernabeu.
