THE BIGGER PICTURE: According to Fabrizio Romano, (via CaughtOffside), Neymar's situation has alerted a number of MLS teams, with LAFC even preparing a move to sign the superstar. Despite US clubs' interest in him, however, Romano maintains that Neymar's first priority remains returning to Barcelona.

AND WHAT'S MORE: PSG are ready to sell, too, but they won't let him go for cheap and have slapped a €150 million (£129m/$165m) price tag on the player. Other than LAFC and Barcelona, the 31-year-old is also being linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

WHAT NEXT FOR NEYMAR? His future is well and truly up in the air as it stands. It was recently report by Sport that a Saudi Arabian club could sign Neymar this summer and immediately send him on loan to Barcelona.
