Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho wants to reignite
their bid for Barcelona star Neymar.
The Daily Record says his release clause was raised to
around 200million euros (£170m).
But, this has not put United and Mourinho off from plotting
what would be a world record transfer.
United broke the record in the summer when they signed
Paul Pogba in the summer for £89m.
However the report says if Neymar wanted to leave,
Barcelona would demand a fee of around £180m.
It is claimed United have asked to be kept updated on
Neymar's intentions with sources saying his new contract
only stuck a plaster on a supposed conflict between the
player and Barcelona.
Neymar's ongoing tax evasion issues are highlighted as a
possible reason for wanting to leave the Nou Camp.
The Brazilian ace is reportedly also keen on becoming the
'dominant individual' which he can't at Barcelona with
Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez vying for top billing.
