Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu had played down the prospect of Neymar returning to the club in the summer transfer window.
The Brazil international quit Barca in 2017 as he decided to make the move to France in a world-record deal worth €222 million (£195m/$260m).
As reported by Goal, Barca would be interested in re-signing Neymar, with the player having been unhappy at Parc des Princes and looking for a way out.
Indeed, his former team-mate Lionel Messi went as far as saying he would "love" to welcome the former Santos star back at Camp Nou but that a transfer would be complicated.
