PSG boss Thomas Tuchel, as report Mundo Deportivo, is said to be exasperated by the 'problems' Neymar creates in the dressing room and is not against a potential departure.

The 27-year-old footballer has now made private feelings about wanting a move back to Barcelona, where he admitted he shouldn't have left.

Neymar is reported to have told PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi: 'I do not want to play more in PSG. I want to go back to my house, where I should never have left.' 

Further to Neymar's desire to return to the Nou Camp this summer, Lionel Messi wants to see the Brazilian come back, according to El Mundo. 

Their report details that the Catalan giants could try to 'transfer their existing agreement for Atletico Madrid ace Antoine Griezmann' directly to PSG, in a bid to secure Neymar. 

This comes days after PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi took a swipe at Neymar over his behaviour.

Speaking in an interview with France Football, Al-Khelaifi, who took over PSG eight years ago,he said: 'I want players willing to give everything to defend the honour of the jersey and to join the club project,' he said in an interview with France Football.

'Those who do not want, or do not understand, we see each other and we talk to each other.
'There are of course contracts to be respected, but the priority now is total membership of our project. Nobody forced him to sign here. Nobody pushed him. He came knowingly to join a project.'
