Paris Saint-Germain has labeled Neymar as a “Lost Cause” and the Brazilian attempts to use this to plot a return move to Barcelona.
PSG are looking to shape the club around Kylian Mbappe in 2020 after realizing that Neymar will again try to force a move in the summer. The French side are reportedly willing to sell the Brazilian for 220 million euros and use the money to renew the world cup winner’s contract.

"According to Paris United, PSG’s sporting director Leonardo has it in his mind that Neymar Jr. will leave next summer. No extension is currently envisaged and so the French club wants to build a team around Kylian Mbappe with money raised from Neymar’s transfer."
Mbappe is a wanted man in Europe especially by Real Madrid who are trying to push for a transfer but PSG are trying their best to keep the youngster around. Their latest plan is to use the cash generated by Neymar’s transfer to offer the Frenchman a contract extension with an astronomical salary that will see Mbappe remain with the club until 2024 (estimate salary of 30 million euros a season).
It is no surprise that the Brazilian has maintained his friendship with his former Barca teammates, mainly Gerard Pique, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi. He has also developed a good relationship with fellow Brazilian players in Barcelona like Arthur during their international duties
Barcelona are looking to settle their books in January transfer window and might be able to meet the 220 million euro asking price for a Neymar return to the Nou Camp in the Summer of 2020.
