Despite being the poster boy of the Parisian giants' multi-million project, Neymar has often been linked with an exit from Paris Saint-Germain

Speculation regarding his has recently been on the rise, with reports suggesting that LaLiga giants Barca and Real are the frontrunners vying for the Brazilian's signature.

French publication RAC1 recently indicated that the 27-year-old could be set for a shock return to his former club, with a possible player-plus-cash deal being explored, on that would see 2018 FIFA World Cup winner Ousmane Dembele move in the other direction.

However, Spanish outlet Sport has claimed that, despite Los Blancos' reported interest in Neymar, the injured Selecao star is believed to have snubbed an offer to join Real in favour of a return to Barca.

Real president Florentino Perez and his right-hand man, Jose Angel Sanchez, are said to have failed in their attempts to convince Neymar to become their club's latest "Galactico" signing.

It is believed that Neymar's father, who is also his agent, listened to the offer tabled by the 13-time UEFA Champions League winners, but following the club's dismal showing, by their lofty standards, in the 2018/19 campaign, the former Santos star is believed to have turned down the Madrid club's bid.

Real had reportedly hoped the reported fallout between Neymar and fellow PSG strike partner Kylian Mbappe would work in their favour in trying to lure the Brazilian to the Santiago Bernabeu.

While Mbappe is believed to also be a transfer target for Los Blancos, the Spanish giants are said to have prioritised the signing of Neymar, but the neither developments have gone in Real's favour, with PSG not wanting to entertain offers for the Ligue 1 Player of the Year and the Brazilian keen on joining Barca.

As a result, Sport claimed that Reals consolation prize will be Belgian superstar Eden Hazard.

In a bid to cool Real's reported interest in Neymar, Perez claimed that Los Blancos were not keen on acquiring the Brazilian due his off-the-field antics of late, suggesting that his values were not in line with that of the club.
