​Paris Saint-Germain are said to be planning a renewed effort to sign Barcelona star Neymar in the summer, with a package worth a mammoth €222m being prepared by the Ligue 1 club as they continue their attempts to become one of the continent's super powers.





​Goal report that PSG began to move for the Brazil international last summer after conceding that they would not be able to bring Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to the Parc des Princes.

The website claims that the French side offered to match the forward's deal with the Spanish champions, as well as trying to tempt him to Paris with a number of ' hefty financial clauses'.





​Mundo Deportivo also reported over the weekend that the 24-year-old turned down offers from a number of clubs over the summer, with Real Madrid, Manchester United and Manchester City all trying to get their claws into the Olympic gold medalist.





The Spanish outlet report that the French side offered the Brazilian a yearly wage of €40m, which breaks down to an incredible €770,000 per week in the contract.

Goal claim that PSG management intend to sign a 'megastar' sooner rather than later as they look to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and their struggles at the start of the current season are unlikely to do anything other than increase the urgency with which they look for reinforcements.





The reigning French champions are four points off league leaders Nice after just eight games of the campaign - Monaco sit between the pair, just one point from the summit.





A dip in their on-field form is just one reason that PSG are looking to move for the Brazilian; a second reason lies in the fact that his €222m release clause is set to jump to €250m in 2018.
