Barcelona made an approach to PSG last week for Neymar, but President Al Khelaifi issued a hands-off warning, according to RMC Sport journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi.
According to RMC Sport, Barcelona did exactly that this week and approached Paris Saint-Germain about the possibility of re-signing the Brazilian.
Antoine Griezmann has been linked with a transfer to Barcelona in recent months, after he announced in a vlog his intentions to leave Atletico Madrid this summer.
But Lionel Messi has reportedly told Barcelona to avoid signing the France international and bring Neymar back to the Nou Camp instead.
However, PSG president Nasser bin Ghanim Al-Khelaifi has issued a hands-off warning, telling the Catalan club he is not for sale.
Neymar has endured a start-stop season in France, hampered by injuries.
So much so that the world's most expensive player is no longer considered the top boy at PSG, with his team-mate Kylian Mbappe stealing his crown.
He's also failed to perform on the biggest stage of them all - the Champions League - since his transfer from Barcelona.
For the past two years PSG have been dumped out of the competition in the last-16 stage, seeing them fall way short of expectation.

PSG is a golden prison, if you go there once, it's impossible to get out, in the last few years, players like, Thiago Silva, Marquinos, Verratti, Rabiot all have tried to leave with Verratti even handing a transfer request, but PSG didn't let him go, PSG is a club that holds on to it's players irrespective of their "If" & "But" so Neymar will have to force his way out, if he wants to get out of the Farmers League & compete with better teams, or else he'll there until retirement. ππ

Messi should take over as player-manager and replace useless Valverde Then Pique should take over as president and replace equally useless Bartomeu We will see Barca rise again π₯π΅π΄

Thank you PSG for turning down the offer from Barça. We are fucked up. The board thinks signing galacticos will solve our problems. We don't need Neymar to be competitive in Europe. Our main problem has always been our over reliance on Messi. We need to build a team and stop relying on Messi to win us matches. We have lots talents available, what we need is a good coach
