Neymar has finally reported back to Paris Saint-Germain a week late after controversially failing to show up for pre-season on time.

The Brazil star has attracted heavy interest from former club Barcelona after struggling both on and off the pitch since his staggering £198million move in the summer of 2017.

And talks of a move away from Paris intensified after he failed to turn up to pre-season when called upon last Monday.

But a week on, the 27-year-old has finally rejoined his PSG team-mates and he was seen taking part in an intense gym session at the club’s state-of-the-art training base.

Neymar, who is currently recovering from an ankle injury that ruled him out of Brazil’s Copa America-winning campaign, was seen grimacing as he undertook conditioning tests on Monday afternoon.

The 27-year-old gave his huge following an update on his whereabouts by uploading pictures on Instagram of himself working out in the gym.

Neymar has arrived back in Paris for showdown talks just two days after he further risked the wrath of his employers by playing in a series of five-a-side matches in his hometown of Praia Grande.

Despite returning to PSG, Neymar is still desperate for a transfer back to Spanish giants Barcelona, where he made a huge name for himself.

PSG chief Leonardo this week admitted that initial contact with Barca over a sensational move had been made, although he also claimed that the Nou Camp outfit did not appear to be in a position to afford Neymar.

Barcelona’s £108m transfer of Antoine Griezmann has now left a potential return for Neymar in huge doubt.
