Brazilian superstar Neymar is set to open talks for a return to La Liga champions Barcelona just two years after signing for Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record deal of € 222 million.
PSG forward has recently been embroiled in controversy following a rape allegation for which investigation ongoing. Brazilian is also involved in tax disputes as a result of which authorities have frozen his assets.
A report in L'Equipe on Sunday said that Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to sell their star player, as chairmain Nasser Al-Khelaifi warned that irresponsible behavior from players will not be accepted.
Brazil’s coach Tite also stripped him of captaincy of the national team, handing it over to veteran Dani Alves.
Neymar to Manchester United, Bale to Bayern?
Due to constant injuries, Neymar has missed out on the crucial stages of the Champions League for PSG in the past two years and will not participate in this year’s Copa America because of an ankle injury.
However, his former teammate Luis Suarez would welcome the idea of the Brazilian forward's return to the Camp Nou and a reunion of the deadly MSN trio - Messi, Suarez and Neymar.

"I was privileged to fulfil one of the best years of my life as a football player at Barcelona next to the best in the world, Messi, and the second-best in the world, Neymar," the Uruguay international told RAC1 on Monday.
