Neymar called time on his Nou Camp career last summer after scoring 105 goals and winning eight trophies during his time in Spain.
He’s hit the ground running with PSG, netting 24 times and providing 14 assists in 23 appearances for Unai Emery’s side.
Neymar has been linked with a return to La Liga throughout his short stint at the Parc des Princes though.
And the latest reports from Spain suggest one of the 25-year-old’s compatriots and close friends believes he will head for for Real one day.

According to Don Balon, Neymar’s future is being discussed by his old Barcelona team-mates.
And new boy Coutinho has heard his Brazil colleague is unhappy and is keen to leave PSG.
Coutinho doesn’t think Neymar will be allowed to move on at the end of the current campaign.

And that’s partly down to the fact Neymar does not have a buy-out clause in his PSG deal.
However, Coutinho supposedly reckons Neymar will end up plying his trade for Barcelona’s arch-rivals Real in the future.
Neymar’s potential arrival at the Bernabeu is likely to mean the end of the famed BBC attacking trio.
