Neymar's PSG Future Could Hinge on Liverpool Clash as Real Madrid Wait in the Wings

Neymar's future at PSG could hinge on next week's Champions League clash with Liverpool, as newspaper reports claim that Real Madrid are waiting for the right moment to pounce and lure the former Barcelona striker to the Bernabeu.

A home defeat to Liverpool would mean, provided Napoli beat Red Star Belgrade, that PSG would drop out of the Champions League at the group stages - and Marca report that Real would see that as the perfect opportunity to begin negotiations over a January switch.

Since joining from Barcelona less than 18 months ago, Neymar has been linked heavily with a Barcelona return as well as a move to Real, but it seems unlikely that Barca have the financial muscle to pry him from the grip of PSG.
