NEYMAR’S dad is “set to meet Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Antero Henrique” ahead of a proposed £195million move, according to a French journalist.
Mohamed Bouhafsi claimed the Brazilian forward’s father – and agent – is preparing for showdown talks in order to “discuss contractual terms”.
Bouhafsi claimed on Twitter: “An appointment is scheduled quickly between the father of Neymar and Antero Henrique to discuss contractual terms.
“It is the entourage of Neymar who came in contact with the PSG and who took the first step to reopen discussions.
“Whatever happens, PSG is winning even if Neymar re-evaluates his contract. After the [Marco] Verratti case, PSG can touch FC Barcelona.”
The news comes just hours after the Ligue 1 side’s boss Unai Emery confirmed the club are keen on signing the £195m-rated superstar.
Emery told L’Equipe: “PSG wants the best players in the world, who are in the best clubs in the world.
“If we want to compete with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and win the Champions League, then PSG must have a player of the world top five.

“We are trying to get one signed this summer.
“The president and the club have been working for several years to bring in players.
"The team, and the fans, would be happy if we have a player from the top five, six or seven, as well as the very strong players that we already have here."
Neymar has reportedly told friends that he is set on the move.
But Barca remain confident that they won’t lose their key man with vice-president Jordi Mestre claiming the Neymar does not want to leave.
Neymar has also been linked with Jose Mourinho's Manchester United this summer.
