Barcelona lost Neymar to PSG over the summer, with the Brazilian signing for Unai Emery’s side in a huge £200million deal.
But, despite the transfer being completed in August, relations between both clubs are at an all-time low.
Both Neymar and Barcelona reported each other to Fifa, while the two parties are involved in a legal battle concerning a loyalty bonus.
And Spanish newspaper AS say that Neymar even asked UEFA to expel Barcelona from this year’s Champions League upon completing his move to PSG.
The forward believes his father is owed money after he delayed his move until after July 31.
Barcelona have so far refused to pay the £23m fee to Neymar SNR, saying an agreement to extend the player’s deal had been in place but not happened.
And AS say that, so angry is Neymar, he appealed to UEFA to kick Barcelona out of Europe’s top club competition.
It is said they quickly rejected his request.
Neymar has made a big impact at PSG, scoring eight goals since his world-record move.
However, one blip was a spat with Edinson Cavani over set piece duties in a game against Lyon.

But the Uruguay international has claimed there is no issue between himself and Neymar, despite claims to the contrary.
"It's football stuff. Sometimes things get so big,” he said.
"The truth is that everyone is aware that things have become bigger than they are.
"These are things you discuss in the locker room. Everything has a solution. It's all relaxed now.
"It is important that everyone strives for the same goal.”
