Barcelona are reportedly not confident of completing a summer deal for Neymar due to the 'increasingly complicated' situation surrounding the Paris Saint-Germain attacker.
Neymar is believed to have made it clear that he wants to leave PSG in this summer's transfer window.
Barca have been strongly linked with a swoop for the Brazil international, although PSG will reportedly only consider offers of around £200m for the 27-year-old.
According to ESPN Deportes, PSG's high asking price is threatening to scupper the move, while the Spanish champions also feel that Juventus and Real Madrid are in the race at this stage.
Earlier this month, it was claimed that the French champions would make a decision on the South American's future in the early stages of August.
The former Santos youngster, who missed his country's Copa America campaign due to an ankle problem, has registered 51 goals in 58 appearances during his time in the French capital.
