With the transfer window ongoing, Neymar's father is meeting with Barcelona ahead of a possible return from PSG, while there are updates on Christian Eriksen and Higuain.
Slowly but surely, Neymar's return to Barcelona appears to be getting closer. The Paris Saint-Germain star, who is sidelined with an ankle injury, is heavily linked with a return to Camp Nou, two years after his world-record €222million switch to the Ligue 1 giants.
Amid reports of talks between Barca and PSG, steps continue to be taken for a possible return for Neymar.

Neymar's father and his lawyer are set to meet Barcelona representative Andre Cury on Tuesday, according to Esporte Interativo.
The report says Cury, who was involved in Neymar's sale, will put forward Barca's point of view.
