Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has instructed their chiefs to sign Liverpool forward Philippe Coutinho.
Neymar is keen to be joined in Paris by his Brazilian team-mate and has urged his new club to get a deal done ahead of his former club Barcelona.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, the Ligue 1 giants will join the race and compete with the La Liga side to try and sign Coutinho.
Sportsmail revealed last week Barca are themselves plotting a fresh £97million swoop for the 25-year-old in January after they failed to land a deal during the summer window.
