The Frenchman outcast has been at odds with the Catalans following concerns over his professionalism

Barcelona have reportedly been in touch with Neymar's representatives over a potential transfer, 18 months after the Brazilian ace completed his record-breaking £195million move to PSG.

To increase chances of making the shocking reunion a reality, the Catalan giants are considering involving Dembele in a deal with the Parisians - as the Frenchman has asked for permission to leave Nou Camp in the winter.

Dembele has scored five goals for Barcelona this season - most recently salvaging a point for Blaugrana against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

However, he struggles to break into the starting line-up for good after his attitude has been questioned by Ernesto Valverde on numerous occasions.

The Frenchman has missed a few training sessions due to lateness or video game binging, and concerns over his social circles have also arisen.

Dembele's situation has alerted Arsenal and Liverpool, although no concrete talks have reportedly taken place between sides.

Both English giants, however, seem to have suffered a blow with the emerging possibility of Neymar's return to Barcelona.

Sun Online has recently reported that Parisians' Champions League clash with Liverpool on Wednesday may speed up the process as PSG face early exit from the competition if they lose to Reds.

Neymar would have to initiate the Barcelona reunion if the transfer is to take place,  in order to mend bridges between him and the club's supporters.

The Brazil superstar scored 105 goals in 186 games for Barcelona, winning two La Liga titles as well as triumphing in the Champions league in 2015 before his move to Parc des Princes.
