Barca officials 'to meet with Neymar representatives'

Barcelona will reportedly open official talks with members of Neymar's team this week as they explore the possibility of bringing the Brazilian back to the Camp Nou.

Neymar's father and lawyer will reportedly meet with Barcelona officials on Tuesday to discuss a possible summer move for the Brazilian.

Speculation suggesting that Neymar could be in line for a return to the Camp Nou just two years after leaving in a world-record deal has gathered pace in recent weeks following comments from Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al Khelaifi insisting that he would no longer accept 'superstar behaviour' at the club.

The 27-year-old is understood to be desperate for a move back to Catalonia and is even willing to go on strike in order to force through a transfer.

Brazilian outlet Esporte Interativo claims that Barcelona will open official talks with Neymar's party on Tuesday when Andre Cury meets with the player's father and lawyer.

Neymar himself is currently in Brazil for the Copa America, although he was ruled out of participating in this summer's tournament due to an ankle injury.

The Brazil international has seen both of his campaigns as a PSG player cut short by injury, but he has still managed to score 51 goals in just 58 appearances for the club.
