Neymar has reportedly been left out of the Paris Saint-Germain squad for their Ligue 1 opener against Nimes on Sunday as the Brazilian edges closer to an exit from the club.
The forward, who moved to PSG for a world-record £198m sum in 2017, has made it clear to PSG's hierarchy that he wants to leave the club this summer.
A potential return to Barcelona was suggested, but the Catalans do not have the funds after signing Antoine Griezmann for £108m, and PSG are reportedly uninterested in negotiating with Barcelona.
According to Sky Sports News, Neymar will not take part in PSG's opening game of the season as talks continue regarding an exit from the Parc des Princes.
Sporting director Leonardo has told the French media that negotiations over Neymar moving to an unspecified club were "more advanced".
Reports on Friday night claimed that Real Madrid, having failed in their pursuit of Paul Pogba, had switched their focus towards signing the 27-year-old.
