Neymar is reportedly only interested in leaving Paris Saint-Germain for Barcelona this summer, despite speculation that Real Madrid want to sign the attacker.

The 27-year-old left Barca for PSG in August 2017 and has scored 51 times in 58 appearances for the French champions across all competitions.

The former Santos youngster has continually been linked with a return to Spain, though, with Madrid said to be interested in a summer deal.

However, according to Sport, Neymar has told PSG that he only wants to return to Barca, where he scored 105 goals and won two La Liga titles, in addition to the Champions League and three Copas del Rey.

The attacker will miss the entirety of Brazil's Copa America campaign after picking up an ankle injury during a warm-up match against Qatar on Wednesday.
