Since he joined the French giants, speculation has been rife about his decision to leave Spain, with many suggesting just months after the move that he had already regretted the choice.
This summer, those murmurs have turned into vocal claims that Neymar will outright push for a move away from PSG this summer.
Reports in Spain claimed he had told PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi he would not stay next season, and that he wanted to go back to Barcelona because he regretted leaving.
While a move away seems unlikely, Marquinhos has attempted to persuade his team-mate to stay at the club.

“It's difficult to recruit a player like him into your club and it's hard to keep him, but I hope he'll continue with us,” he told Goal.
“He is an important player, he's also a friend, a guy I love, and I really hope he'll stay.
“We have not talked about his future, I guess there are already a lot of people who only talk to him about it.”
Neymar is not the only Brazilian to be linked with a move away from PSG this summer, with Thiago Silva tipped to return to AC Milan.

But Marquinhos was quick to say that he wanted his veteran centre-back partner to stay as well.
“When I arrived at PSG, he was my idol and I wanted to imitate him,” he continued.
“He is an important player for the club, he is our captain and brings all his experience to the young players who need it.
“He had a good season, put in good performances and we cannot blame him, I hope he will continue with us.”
