A Saudi Arabian club is willing to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar and loan him out to Barcelona for the upcoming season.

The Brazil international has reportedly told PSG officials that he plans on leaving this summer.

The 31-year-old is keen on returning to Barca. But the Spanish club's financial struggles will complicate any possible deal.

However, Sport says that a Saudi club could help send the striker back to Barcelona.

The unnamed side is eyeing a move for Neymar this summer and is ready to loan him immediately to the Catalan giants afterwards.

Barcelona could pay a certain percentage of the player's wages while the rest will come from the French club and some sort of an agreement that includes a friendly that Barca could play in the Middle Eastern country.

Neymar has been linked with Chelsea as well, however, the Blues' boss Mauricio Pochettino is against this proposed transfer.
