It was claimed last year that PSG were ready to sell Moura in January, with the Brazilian failing to meet expectations at the Parc des Princes.

But the 22-year-old has impressed in recent times and has now opened negotiations over a new deal in the French capital.

Moura's current contract doesn't expire until 2017, but the early indications are that he could be at loggerheads with PSG over his demands.

According to French magazine Le10Sport, Moura has been offered £57,0000-a-week but wants closer to £82,000-a-week.

And if a compromise can't be struck Moura could end up back on the market this summer.

United, Liverpool and Arsenal have all been linked with Moura in the past.

But Moura has previously spoken of his reasons for picking PSG, saying: "David [Luiz] was very enthusiastic about Chelsea and if you follow anything of football these days you have to know they are a force to be reckoned with.

"But PSG had a project that looked quite interesting because they wanted to do something similar to what happened at Chelsea.

"And they also have a lot of Brazilians there."
