The report fromSpanish media outlet RAC1 revealed that the 29-year-old PSG attacker is the number one target at Barcelona this summer ahead of Borussia Dortmund striker ErlingHaaland. Norwegian international Haaland is the most sought after player on the European football scene and Barcelona are one of the many clubs interested in his services.

Brazilian national team talisman Neymar is said to be interested in a return to Barcelona as per the abovementioned report and that he's ready to take a pay cut to make the move happen. Neymar is not ready to put any financial demands on the Catalan giants in the quest to play for the club once again.

Neymar spent four years at the Nou Camp between 2013 and 2017. He was part of the squad that won the Champions League title for the last time at Barcelona. The Spaniards are still waiting to break their Champions League drought spanning six years. The last Champions League title was at the end of the 2014/15 campaign.
