Real Madrid president Florentino convinced Man Utd, PSG target Neymar wants Barcelona exit

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is convinced Neymar is prepared to leave Barcelona this summer.

Diario Gol says Florentino is close to Neymar's representatives, including his father, Neymar Snr. The pair are in regular contact and it's suggested Florentino has heard the Brazil international is unsettled.

However, the source of the news is away from the Neymar camp, with claims he is quietly speaking to interested clubs about next season.

Neymar is happy at Barca, but wants to continue winning titles and also compete for the Ballon d'Or. There's now growing concern he cannot achieve this at the Nou Camp.

Manchester United, having failed with a massive bid for Neymar two years ago, remain keen - as do PSG. And Real president Florentino is convinced the Brazilian could yet leave Barca in the coming months.
