Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona in August last year for an eye-watering £198m fee.

While the untold riches he would get were obviously one of the key reasons for the move, many were surprised he had decided to test himself in Ligue 1.

And now Spanish newspaper AS are reporting that the Brazilian is desperate for a return to La Liga - but not with Barcelona but their arch-rivals Real Madrid.

Their club president Florentino Perez is well-known for delivering the side with a 'Galactico' - and he is ready to make Neymar that expensive gift.

Neymar has taken Ligue 1 by storm since joining PSG from Barcelona last summer - but few would be surprised at that

The 26-year-old has scored 26 goals in 29 games in all competitions for the French champions this season, but has not played since late February due to injury.

The Brazilian left the field in tears on a stretcher during PSG's 3-0 win against Marseille, and it was later revealed he had suffered a sprained ankle and fractured metatarsal.

Neymar sat watching the game from the stands at the Stade de France alongside Marco Verratti, who is also out injured.

PSG did what most people expected and won the game against third-tier Les Herbiers, but the 2-0 scoreline was certainly not what most predicted.

Giovani Lo Celso and Edinson Cavani from the penalty spot secured Unai Emery's side the trophy in what is the Spanish boss' last season at the club.
