Barcelona 'to begin Neymar talks with Paris Saint-Germain'

Barcelona are reportedly preparing to officially begin talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a move for Neymar before this summer's transfer window slams shut.

Neymar's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with the Brazil international reportedly signalling to PSG that he is desperate to return to Camp Nou.

The attacker is now said to be in 'total war' with his French club, who are allegedly only prepared to sanction a sale if they receive an offer in the region of £200m.

According to Goal.com, Barca are preparing to launch an official bid for the 27-year-old in the hope of striking an agreement with the French champions.

PSG, though, are believed to have told the Spanish giants that they will not sell Neymar after the start of the 2019-20 Ligue 1 campaign.

The South American scored 105 goals in 186 appearances for the Catalan giants before moving to the Parc des Princes in the summer of 2017.
