Former FC Barcelona player, Neymar dreams of wearing the Blaugrana jersey again but this possibility is not mentioned by the management of the Catalan club, especially since his recurring physical problems are not behind him.
Neymar at FC Barcelona, soon act II? Former player of the Catalan club between 2013 and 2017, the Brazilian player then left Spain to join Paris Saint-Germain before going to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2023. Now aged 32, Neymar has always mentioned the possibility of returning to Catalonia after his departure, even if the supporters had found it extremely difficult to forgive him. However, a return to basics is difficult to envisage on the part of the club's management. Neymar has just spent a year without playing due to a serious knee injury, then on his return he suffered a new muscle problem which will keep him away from the field at least until the beginning of 2025. Moreover, training Saudi plans to terminate its contract in the coming weeks to free up space (and a staggering salary) in its workforce.
Laporta does not want Neymar to return to Barça
According to information from the media El Nacional, Neymar himself contacted President Laporta and Deco, Barça sporting director. However, if the main interested party wishes to return to Barcelona, this is not reciprocal. Laporta has refuted any hopes of a new collaboration between the two parties, while Hansi Flick, Barca's German coach, is also not keen on the idea of working with the top scorer in the club's history. Selecao (79 goals).
Back when he was at his best, Neymar already had a reputation for spending a lot of time in nightclubs, and the situation didn't get better with time. The fear of the Blaugrana leaders is to see the young nuggets of the club take an example from Neymar, but in his ability to go out in the evening and party, more than giving everything in training. Certainly, Barça needs experience to supervise the youth but Neymar clubber version is not in the plans of the Spanish giant. At present, two solutions are on the table for the former PSG: join Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami or return to Santos, his training club, to come full circle after a more than honorable career. .
