Report: PSG Made Aware of Neymar's Desire to Leave for Real Madrid

Neymar reportedly feels he made a mistake moving to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona for £200 million last summer and has now made the French club aware he wants to leave for Real Madrid. 

According to Marca, the Brazilian's father has told PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi of his son's desire to depart, and they now want "to sit down and to negotiate his exit."

The report added Neymar has failed to settle at PSG and has a poor relationship with the "Argentinian nucleus [and] Edinson Cavani," but any departure could be scuppered by Amir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who may have concerns about PSG losing their marquee player after just one season.

Neymar, 26, has, on the face of it, enjoyed a fine debut season at the Parc des Princes after penning a five-year deal last August. 

PSG were disappointingly knocked out of the UEFA Champions League at the last-16 stage but have won a domestic treble in 2017-18, with Neymar returning 19 goals and 13 assists in 20 French top-flight matches before picking up an injury.

However, there have been reports of the Brazilian's unhappiness at the club from early in his PSG career, per Sky Sports' Peter Smith.

Training ground bust-ups, disagreements with manager Unai Emery and a disappointment in the lack of competitiveness in Ligue 1 have all been raised as concerns around Neymar.

And it could all seemingly end with his departure this summer.

The move seems unlikely as PSG will surely not sanction the transfer.

Neymar's arrival last summer was a huge moment for PSG as they continued their quest to become European heavyweights.

To lose him just a year later, and to Real of all clubs, would be an admission of inferiority PSG are likely not prepared to accept.

Money is another issue as PSG will not be prepared to make a loss on Neymar.

According to Marca's report, though, Los Blancos already know that, if it gets that far, they will have to shell out between €260 million (£229 million) and €300 million (£264 million) to sign the former Santos man.
