PSG striker Neymar is Barcelona's top priority ahead of the 2020-21 season, according to Catalan sports daily Sport.

The cover of Wednesday's Spanish sports daily leads with the headline: "Neymar objective number one".

The Brazil international was heavily linked with a return to the LaLiga giants ahead of this season, but ended up staying at Paris Saint-Germain.

It reports FIFA is also allowing Barcelona to negotiate more strongly with PSG than it did last year.

The Brazilian has scored 16 goals in 20 games in all competitions for PSG this season.
