Having left Barça to escape Lionel Messi's shadow, Neymar has found himself playing second fiddle to the 19-year-old sensation Kylian Mbappe, which has frustrated him and led him to ask for a move away from Paris.

Neymar could potentially fill the vacancy left by Ronaldo and once again be the focal point of his team's attack.
