Barcelona and Brazilian star Neymar Jr could well be on his way out of the Nou Camp.
According to reports, Neymar’s father has urged his son to leave the Catalan giants in order to pursue his dreams of being a headline star.
Neymar has had another terrific season for Barcelona. He has been involved in 24 goals either scoring or assisting them. But having said that, it is also true that Neymar Jr still remains under the shadows of both Messi and Suarez.

Another factor for Neymar leaving the club is the factor of Lionel Messi. While Barcelona are confident that they will keep the Argentine at the club, Messi is yet to sign a new contract. And the Brazilian has made his intentions very clear. He wants to play alongside the best, and he considers Messi as the best in the world.
So is the 25-year-old truly leaving Barcelona? Mourinho does not think so. In a recent interview, Mourinho said that Barcelona will not let go of him so easily.
The Portuguese feels that Neymar is the heir to Messi’s throne. And Barcelona will not let a player like that leave.

But the scenario could change drastically if Manchester United can secure a Champions League spot. We all know that in order to attract big players, Champions League football is the main priority. And if United manage to do that by winning the Europa League final then it will certainly open a lot of doors for them.
Meanwhile, in another report, it is said that Real Madrid are monitoring the situation closely. Having failed to bring in Neymar last year, Real President Florentino Perez will certainly try to give the transfer one more shot.
