Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, has privately urged Neymar to reject Real Madrid and push for a return to the Camp Nou, according to reports in Spain.

Neymar has made it clear that he wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain, before the end of the transfer window.

And the Ligue 1 champions are now open to allowing the Brazilian forward leave.

Barcelona’s hierarchy are set to meet with PSG chiefs on Tuesday to discuss Neymar’s transfer and are willing to offer Philippe Coutinho as part of the deal.

Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez, is also a huge fan of Neymar and has tried unsuccessfully to sign the 27-year-old on many occasions in the past.

Messi has now intervened by calling Neymar, to advise him against a move to Madrid.

Neymar spent four seasons alongside Messi at Barcelona and the pair won two La Liga titles, the Champions League and the Club World Cup.

Real Madrid are confident of signing Neymar Jr, after offering Paris Saint-Germain £110million plus Luka Modric, according to Sport.

Barcelona are interested in resigning Neymar, but Real are eager to bring him in as a belated replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, who left for Juventus last year.

Real are looking to get the signing of Neymar over the line, before the Spanish transfer window shuts on September 2.

Modric won the Ballon d’Or last year and has helped Real to win the Champions League four times, but could leave as part of the deal.

Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona in 2017 for £198million, which still remains a world-record transfer fee.

The Brazil forward has an impressive goal record for PSG, having scored 51 times in 58 games, in addition to providing 29 assists.

He has also won the Ligue 1 title in both of his seasons at the club.

Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has taken a £1.25million loss selling his mansion in Portugal to teammate, Pepe.

Hidden away by vast woodland and situated in Geres, the mansion, which includes a landing pad for a helicopter, was purchased for close to £3.5m seven years ago.

It boasts an area of around 800 square meters and includes a stunning view of the picturesque Cavado River.

According to Corriero da Manha, the deal between Ronaldo and Pepe was said to have been agreed while the national team was playing at the inaugural UEFA Nations League title.

Pepe, who played alongside Ronaldo at Real Madrid, is now back in his home country with Porto, after leaving Turkish side Besiktas.
