Report: Neymar to Sit Out PSG's Preseason Amid Barcelona Negotiations

Neymar has reportedly told Paris Saint-Germain he will not return to the club for preseason, with the forward attempting to force a move back to former team Barcelona.

Joaquim Piera of Sport reported the player has "gone on strike." PSG are set to return to training on Monday, July 8, but the Brazilian has told the Ligue 1 champions he will not report for duty as negotiations continue with Barca.

According to Marcelo Bechler of Esporte Interativo (h/t B/R Football), Neymar's father and representatives will arrive in Spain on Tuesday to negotiate the striker's switch to the Camp Nou.
