Neymar 'agrees PSG stay as Barca move breaks down'

Neymar has reportedly agreed to stay at Paris Saint-Germain after talks with Barcelona broke down.

The attacker, who is due to travel to Miami this weekend to join up with the Brazil squad, has been strongly linked with a return to Camp Nou in this summer's transfer window.

However, it was reported on Friday that Barca had abandoned their pursuit of the 27-year-old after failing to come to an agreement with PSG.

The French giants are believed to have demanded Ousmane Dembele, Ivan Rakitic, Jean-Clair Todibo and a "significant" cash sum in order to sell Neymar back to the Catalan giants.

Barca are said to have returned with a counter-offer which was ultimately rejected, leaving negotiations at a standstill ahead of Monday's European transfer deadline.

According to Sky Sports News, Neymar has now accepted that he will be staying in Paris this summer, and the South American is willing to give his all for the club in the coming months.

The former Santos youngster allegedly told PSG that he would be prepared to pay £17.7m of his own money in order to force a late switch to Spain.
