Neymar happy as Man City rival Real Madrid's €400M plans

Manchester City have joined the battle for unsettled PSG star Neymar.

Diario Gol says Neymar, currently in Brazil recovering from foot surgery, is already fed-up with life in Paris and his time with PSG.

Real Madrid have informed his father they're prepared to pay €400m to bring him back to Spain. However, Neymar has told his former Barcelona teammates that should the Catalans fail to compete for his return, the Brazil captain would choose Pep Guardiola's City.

Gerard Pique and Lionel Messi are in consistent contact with their former teammate and have since informed the Barca locker room that Neymar will choose City over Real Madrid should things develop into a straight choice.

Neymar left Barca in a world record €222m move in August, but has long regretted his decision. Bust-ups with teammates, rifts with fans and the heavy attention of opponents have left him frustrated and fed-up.

Neymar is now leaning towards leaving Paris at season's end.
