Juventus 'meet with Neymar father over potential transfer'

Juventus could be in line to make a shock move for wantaway Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar, according to a report.

Neymar has been longing for a move back to Barcelona, but the Camp Nou club are struggling to package a deal for the Brazilian, with PSG holding firm.

This could allow Juventus to steal in and offer Neymar a way out of Paris, with club chiefs due to meet the Brazilian's father in Turin, according to Mundo Deportivo.

After refusing to turn up for the beginning of pre-season, Neymar confirmed to PSG executives that he wants to leave the club, and the Parc des Princes outfit have been reluctantly considering avenues for his departure.

Juventus have already spent £68m on Matthijs de Ligt this week, but would see signing Neymar as a major coup this summer.

The Brazilian scored 23 goals in 28 games for PSG last season, but club officials are disappointed with his lack of impact in the Champions League since arriving from Barcelona two summers ago.
