'AS': Neymar to remain with PSG thanks to Tuchel

According to the aforementioned source, the pair held a secret meeting several days ago to discuss their plans for the season ahead.

Tuchel's argument was that Neymar should see next season as a second chance after his debut season in Paris was disrupted by injury, a well-publicised spat with team-mate Edinson Cavani  and the need to adapt to a new country, culture and dressing room.

Upon his appointment, Tuchel was quick to highlight Neymar's importance to the side, underlining his excitement at working with such an 'artist'.

According to 'AS', the German has put himself at the full disposition of his star, aware of just how important he is to his side's fortunes, whilst pre-season will represent a fresh start for all the the club.

It seels tranquility could return to the club where speculation and rumour have reigned supreme for so long, with Neymar's own father confirming his son's desire to remain with the club.

Whilst Real Madrid still dream of luring the player to the Bernabeu, something which Neymar's entourage is understood to be open to, it seems as though any move will have to wait for now.
