Paris Saint-Germain are receptive to Neymar joining either Real Madrid or Barcelona on loan before the close of the transfer window.
The Ligue 1 side and their chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi have reportedly conceded a permanent deal is unlikely for the unhappy Brazilian who is valued at €200m.
PSG are now willing to allow either of the La Liga giants to agree a budget-saving short-term deal as long as their is an option to buy included in any agreement.
Reports in both Spain state the rivals have been surprised by the change of stance from PSG and both are exploring a way to get a deal over the line.
It's understood Barcelona lead the way with talks scheduled with the French side on Monday as the Catalans look to beat out their fierce foes.
But Real Madrid and president Florentino Perez can never be counted out and Marca claim Los Blancos are still very much in the frame to seal Neymar's signature.
The player will once again miss out for PSG with his future still very much up in the air.
And boss Thomas Tuchel has conceded the summer of speculation has taken its toll on the mercurial playmaker.
He said: '"He started the training session with us, but finished individually.
"He is my player and when I think of a strong team, it includes him. If there is no solution for him, he will stay with us.
"For now, nothing has changed. Neymar has three years left on his contract.
"He is sensitive, so I will always protect him. He needs to train with us and raise his intensity.
"I want to see him play at his best level for 90 minutes, with aggression and lots of dribbling."
