Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have "begun conversations" regarding a remarkable move to take Neymar back to the Camp Nou.
According to Catalan radio station RAC1 , the two clubs are in talks over a swap deal which could see Ousmane Dembele head the other way.
Neymar left Barcelona for the French capital in a huge world record deal in 2017 but there has been intense speculation surrounding his future in Paris.
He has been linked with a return to La Liga with Real Madrid - but the chance to return to Barcelona could be an intriguing prospect given how highly he continues to talk about his time at the club.
Neymar still has a number of friends within the Barcelona dressing room, and with their move for Antoine Griezmann in doubt he could be targeted as the man to help them bounce back from their Champions League and Copa del Rey failures in the closing stages of the season.
Dembele, meanwhile, has experienced a rollercoaster spell at Barcelona since his move from Borussia Dortmund.
The electric attacker has been hit and miss and could welcome the chance to be reunited with his former Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel.
The key stumbling block in a potential deal is expected to be the tense relationships between the two clubs that have existed ever since Neymar's initial transfer.
Reports in Spain therefore suggest the striker would need to play an active role in enabling the move to happen.
Demeble, 22, could be an intriguing part of the deal with the chance to move back to France amid reports Barcelona will consider selling him for the right price this summer.
