Neymar 'turns a deaf ear' to PSG contract offers and is still 'in Barcelona mode' - report

Neymar PSG

Last summer's transfer saga involving Neymar and his desire to return to Barcelona dominated the back pages.

Since arriving in Paris, Neymar has performed well and has won titles - but he's struggled with injury and is understood to miss Spain.

Paris Saint-Germain's hierarchy were very publicly angry about Neymar's apparent disloyalty.

Nasser Al-Khelafi made it nigh-on impossible for Neymar to re-sign for Barcelona by demanding astronomical fees for the Brazilian.

Barça reportedly proposed a number of player-plus-cash options, but none were deemed acceptable by PSG.

Now that the dust has settled somewhat, PSG are reported to have begun contract extension talks with Neymar.

It's claimed that they still believe a move back to Barcelona is still on the cards and they will hold out to that end.

Extensions have already been signed by Thomas Meunier and Marco Verratti and are contracts are on the table for Marquinhos and Thiago Silva.

But it seems that for now at least, Neymar won't be putting pen to paper in Paris anytime soon.
