PSG ‘accept’ Neymar will return to Barcelona in shock £136m transfer but will keep Kylian Mbappe


PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are reportedly willing to let Neymar leave for Barcelona this summer – but are determined to keep hold of Kylian Mbappe.

The Spanish giants will have to fork out £136million to bring the Brazilian, 28, back to the Nou Camp at the end of the season.

According to ESPN journalist Julien Laurens, PSG sporting director Leonardo is prepared to offload Neymar this summer.

But the French giants are not willing to do business for any less than their £136m asking price.

PSG are keen to get as much money back as possible after they forked out £198m to sign him in August 2017.

The 28-year-old has chipped in with 16 goals and laid on eight assists for Thomas Tuchel’s league leaders this season.

Despite his importance within the squad, PSG will let him return to Spain after just three years in France.

But the source has confirmed that PSG will not let Mbappe leave this summer despite interest from Real Madrid.

It is reported that Zinedine Zidane’s side have become “obsessed” with the idea of signing the French superstar.

The Spanish side are said to be confident in landing the former Monaco star for just £100m.

He is under contract with PSG until June 2022, but the club are keen to extend his deal to end any speculation.

Mbappe has been the star of the show this season with 23 goals and nine assists.
