PSG are pushing to trump Barcelona for FC Tokyo prospect Takefusa Kubo.

The 17 year-old is preparing to return to Europe and has some of the world's biggest clubs chasing his signature.

Barcelona are eager to re-sign Kubo, who was part of the raft of players involved in their past transfer ban over illegal deals for juniors.

Barca are confident of bringing him back to Spain, though RMC says PSG sports chief Antero Henrique has also made a move.

Kubo's style of game has been likened to Lionel Messi. Real Madrid are also interested in the teen.
