Neymar Sr. Says Negotiations Between PSG and Barcelona for Neymar Are 'Not Over'

Talks between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona over Neymar have not yet concluded, according to the star's father.

The forward was linked with a return to the Camp Nou throughout the summer but remained at the Parc des Princes.

Neymar Sr. told Fox Sports (h/t L'Equipe, via MailOnline's Jack Kinnersley): "The negotiations between the two clubs [were] not over. A Brazilian just wants to be happy where he is, and he was very happy [in Barcelona]. When his friends asked him if he would come back, he was moved."

According to Tuttosport (h/t Kinnersley), PSG sporting director Leonardo wants to move Neymar on in January rather than wait until next summer.
