There are many who accused Neymar of chasing the cash when he decided to leave Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain last summer.At Barcelona he was guaranteed major trophies and the chance to win the Champions League every season. As PSG showed this week, they’re still some way off Europe’s elite sides.But it was also thought that Neymar wanted to exit Lionel Messi’s shadow at the Camp Nou; to become the centrepiece of a side he could carry to Champions League glory.And, in a way, he’s done that. Neymar has been fantastic for PSG.Having overcome some early teething problems with Edinson Cavani, the 26-year-old has netted 28 goals in all competitions for Unai Emery’s side.PSG’s failings in Europe will result in the Ballon d’Or going elsewhere but Neymar has been a joy to watch.He missed the second leg of PSG’s round-of-16 tie against Real Madrid due to an ankle injury and Les Parisiens looked bereft of any attacking nous without him.

There's a stunning report coming out of Spain

Neymar won’t have enjoyed what he saw at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday and, if reports in Spain are correct, it will have only enhanced his desire to go through with his current plans.

Mundo Deportivo have reported that the Brazil international regrets leaving Barcelona for PSG and spoke to players and executives at the Camp Nou about a desire to return before PSG’s Champions League exit.

Neymar didn't expect Ligue 1 to be so inferior to Spain

The report adds that Neymar misses his former teammates and admits he was stubborn trying to leave Messi’s shadow.

The forward didn’t expect the level of Ligue 1 to be so inferior to that of La Liga and he wants to return to a setting without cliques or tensions.

Neymar doesn’t intend to return to Barcelona in the summer; he wants to spend another season in France before heading to the Camp Nou in 2019.

One thing that he is relying on is Barca’s interest. The Blaugrana have signed Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho and right now, there’s no interest in bringing Neymar back right now.

Indeed, there are some who believe that Neymar is simply using Barcelona to get a move to Real Madrid. As if he’s saying, ‘I want to return to Barcelona, but I’m available if they don’t want me’.
