The father of PSG star Neymar has denied reports he's been in talks with Barcelona about a return to the Nou Camp.

According to El Mundo sources it had been Neymar's father who had personally called Barça president Josep Maria Bartomeu as well as other directors from the club recently.

They also state that for Barça to consider a transfer move for Neymar, his father would need to drop his legal battles with the club, something he won't consider doing at the moment.

But Neymar Snr took to social media to call the story "fake news" just as his son did a few weeks ago when another story emerged about the Samba star wanted a move back to Barça.
