The 31-year-old Brazil international was widely reported to have told PSG this week he wants to leave, just days before the team begins its French title defence. His expected preference is a return to Barcelona, which he left for a world-record fee of €222 million (US$244 million) six years ago, though there are offers from MLS and the Saudi club Al Hilal to consider.
