Neymar's agent believes Paris Saint-Germain could meet the Barcelona star's 193m euros buy-out clause and says "it's the dream of every player to play for a club like PSG".

Neymar is under contract until 2018 and Barcelona are keen to extend his stay, but speculation in the French press has linked him with a departure this summer.

In January, Neymar claimed he would be open to playing under Pep Guardiola, who will to take over at Manchester City this summer, while Brazil team-mate and PSG winger Lucas Moura said he'd prefer his club signed Neymar over Lionel Messi.

And Neymar's agent Wagner Ribeiro has made it clear the prospect of playing for the Ligue 1 champions could appeal to his player.

"Neymar has a contract with Barcelona until 2018 and he is feeling very good at Barcelona," Ribeiro told L'Equipe.

"He is a beloved player there and is part of the best team in the world. It is not easy to impose yourself at such a huge club, but the prospect of living in a city like Paris and playing for a club like PSG is a dream for every player too.
