There are strong indications that Neymar may consider a move to French Ligue 1 champions PSG next season.

PSG are ready to renew their efforts to sign Neymar and are planning a bumper package worth up to €222 million in order to land their man.

It was gathered that the leaders of the French club turned their eyes on Neymar last summer after effort to land Cristiano Ronaldo proved abortive.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Olivier Letang had made attempts to sign Neymar this season, offering a bumper salary (matching Messi’s Barcelona deal) as well as several hefty financial clauses to entice the striker.

But the attacker eventually declined the offer in favour of signing a new deal with Barcelona at the beginning of July, for a salary estimated at €25 million per year until 2021.

According to sources close to the player, Neymar was however tempted to join up with friends Marquinhos, Lucas Moura and Thiago Silva at PSG.

However, that failed attempt, was just the start for PSG as the French club has switched their attention to a new raid for the coming season.

Neymar’s release clause in Barcelona stands at €222m but that figure will increase to €250m in 2018, while his wages will similarly skyrocket.

The Brazilian forward recently scored his 300th career goal on Thursday, October 6 as Brazil walloped Bolivia 5-0 in a World Cup qualifying.
