Neymar wants to return to FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain may be forced to sell him, but Barça may not be interested, according to Diario AS.

The daily reports that Neymar is making "constant" calls to Barça, hoping to engineer a return to the club which he left for PSG last year.

Médiapart calculates that the Parisian club will have to find 170 million euro to comply with FFP demands if they lose their case. The easiest way to raise the funds would be to sell one of their stars, either Kylian Mbappé or Neymar.

However, Barcelona won't necessarily go for it. The price will be extremely high. AS reports that the team considered including Ousmane Dembélé in a deal for the Brazilian, but as the French winger continued settling into the team, that seems less likely. Dembélé is in hot form and there's hope within the club that his previous incidents with chronic lateness are in the past.
