Neymar linked with sensational return to Europe as Barcelona and Bayern enter talks

The 33-year-old Brazilian forward has rediscovered his form since making an emotional return to his boyhood club Santos in January. He has registered three goals and three assists in seven appearances, earning a long-awaited recall to Brazil after an 18-month absence due to injury.

Although Santos are reportedly willing to retain him beyond this season, negotiations with European clubs appear to be gathering momentum. In Barcelona's case, the agent's strong relationship with club president Joan Laporta could help facilitate a deal, though financial constraints mean any move would likely hinge on player sales.

However, Neymar is said to be willing to accept a reasonable wage to make a return to Camp Nou possible.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have also been named as a potential destination. As the summer transfer window approaches, his next move remains uncertain.
