Neymar's Paris Saint-Germain feud and the Barca deal to hand Arsenal transfer boost

Neymar is dominating back pages all around the world as he tries to force through a dramatic return to Barcelona.

The Brazilian is keen on a return to the Nou Camp after spending two years in France with Paris Saint-Germain.

In fact, Neymar is so keen to make the move that he's been reprimanded by PSG for missing training.

A statement on the club website read: "Neymar da Silva Santos Junior was summoned for the resumption of activities of the professional group of Paris Saint-Germain.

"Paris Saint-Germain found that the player Neymar Jr did not show up at the agreed time and place, without having been authorized by the Club in advance.

"Paris Saint-Germain deplores this situation and will take the appropriate measures resulting from it."

The French side are taking a no-nonsense approach with the Brazilian, which could then have an impact on the future of Barcelona winger Malcom.

The 22-year-old is one of a number of names being linked with a summer move to Arsenal, and his chances of securing an exit from would be significantly boosted if Neymar did complete his big-money return to the Nou Camp.

Everton are also thought to be keen on a move, but it remains to be seen how much it would cost to tempt Barcelona into selling.

Malcom made just 15 appearances in La Liga last term, suggesting that his days could be numbered, and you can bet that a number of clubs will be preparing to swoop if Neymar gets his desired move.
