BARCELONA are reportedly planning to re-sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain next summer.
And Mundo Deportivo claims they will look to exploit a transfer clause which will allow them to pay £44million less than what they sold him for.

Mundo Deportivo claims Neymar can request a transfer in the summer after completing three years in France
PSG forked out a world-record £198m to bring Neymar to Paris in 2017.
He has since scored 59 goals in 69 matches while winning two Ligue 1 titles, one French Cup, one League Cup and one Champions Trophy.
However, it’s believed Neymar is desperate to leave the Parc des Princes.
And Barcelona are understood to be lining up a deal to bring the Brazilian back to the Nou Camp.
Mundo Deportivo claims Catalan chiefs are aiming to strike a deal for Neymar in the summer after he’s completed his third season in France.
And because the forward has no intention of signing a new PSG contract, as well as the time he’s spent in France – designed by FIFA as the “Protected Period” – Neymar can request a move.
It’s reckoned he can actually trigger a clause worth £154m to secure a return to Barcelona, with the fee calculated by variables such as his current market value – which has greatly depreciated – and salary from the fourth year of his contract, which is around £20m.
Neymar enjoyed great success during his time at Barcelona, scoring 105 goals in 186 appearances.
He won two La Liga titles, three Copa del Reys and one Champions League in four seasons at the Nou Camp.
And with Lionel Messi still there, as well as summer arrival Antoine Griezmann, there would surely be even more trophies for Neymar to win back at Barca.
