France, August 10
Paris Saint-Germain revealed today that Neymar transfer talks are "more advanced than before" after the Brazilian was dropped for the French champions' opening Ligue 1 match with Nimes.
Sporting director Leonardo confirmed to reporters that the Brazilian was near the exit door but that PSG were "not yet ready to give its approval (to the transfer)" ahead of Sunday's match at the Parc des Princes. Real Madrid or a return to Barcelona are the most likely destinations for the world's most expensive footballer.
Sports newspaper AS claimed Neymar has been offered to Madrid by PSG, who are open to selling if they can either recoup the ^222 million they spent on him in 2017 or receive half that amount, with players included in the deal. Barcelona-based Mundo Deportivo says that he would prefer a move back to Catalonia. — AFP
