Neymar’s future is again the talk of the town with Paris Saint Germain reportedly planning to sell the forward in the summer.
Despite being in fine form this season, Neymar received the brunt of the criticism that came PSG’s way after their poor display during the 3-1 defeat by Monaco.
It was reported that the defeat led to multiple bust-ups, both on the pitch and inside the dressing room, with Neymar front and centre of controversy once again.
According to Spanish news outlet AS, the reigning Ligue 1 champions are looking to part ways with the player that they spent £196 million on five and a half years ago.

It has been claimed that Neymar’s role in the defeat by Monaco, plus his attitude towards his fellow teammates and club sporting director Luis Campos has led to the relationship between the two parties to turn sour.
During the match against Monaco, fan footage captured Neymar venting his frustrations towards teammate Vitinha after not receiving the ball from the Portuguese midfielder.
Some reports claimed that Neymar was also displeased with young striker Hugo Ekitike, with some Monaco players believed to be shocked by what they heard from the Brazilian superstar.
To make matters worse, it was then reported that Neymar aimed his anger towards Campos in the dressing room after the final whistle.
Neymar is currently tipped to make a stunning return to Camp Nou, with Barcelona priced at 7/1 to sign the Brazilian forward.
Chelsea are second favourites at 8/1 to make a move for the PSG player but it remains to be seen whether Todd Boehly will spend big again in the summer transfer window.
Clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle are all believed to be in the running if PSG decide to part ways with Neymar.
However, AS did state that PSG might find it difficult to offload Neymar due to his reported mammoth salary of £40 million.
Will Neymar be sold by PSG in the summer? Only time will tell.
