Neymar 'still hoping to return to Barcelona this summer'

Paris Saint-Germain attacker Neymar is reportedly still hopeful of securing a return to Barcelona during this summer's transfer window.

The Brazil international was strongly linked with a move to Camp Nou ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, but the Spanish champions could not agree a deal with the Ligue 1 giants.

Barca's pursuit of Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez, in addition to the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak, had seemingly ended the club's chances of re-signing the attacker this summer.

However, according to Mundo Deportivo, the 28-year-old has not given up hope of returning to the Catalan giants ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Neymar has again been in impressive form for PSG this term despite some injury troubles, scoring 18 times and contributing 10 assists in 22 appearances in all competitions.

The French champions are said to be keen to keep hold of the South American this summer but would be prepared to listen to offers in the region of £156m.

The former Santos youngster has a contract with Thomas Tuchel's side until June 2022.
