Real Madrid are closely linked with a move for the 26-year-old, who cost the French champions £198million last summer.

Neymar joined Barcelona in 2013, a year after Pep had left the Nou Camp for a sabbatical from management.

Speaking in January 2016, Neymar had spoken of his admiration for the Etihad boss, who led City to a Premier League record points haul to win the title this season.

And speaking to ESPN Brazil, Neymar again talked up his desire to work with Pep.

Neymar, who has been out injured since February, returned to Brazil training this week – with hundreds of fans fighting to get a glimpse of the Selecao captain.

Fans gathered outside the Granja Comary training complex in Teresopolis and although some were allowed in, others were left in tears when the gates were closed.

Neymar is continuing his recovery from a broken foot and looked to be in great spirits with other members of Tite’s World Cup squad.

Neymar later stopped to sign autographs for fans.
