Barcelona director of Football Deco has moved to destroy rumors that connect Neymar Junior with a return to the club. The Brazilian attacker has returned to fitness at Santos, but will open his options this summer, with his contract. Links to Barcelona are often more or less since he left the club, but this summer the pieces fit more than they have been doing for a while.
It was reported that Neymar would be delighted to return to the club where he made his worldwide fame and won his only Champions League of his career. The 33-year-old has apparently been in conversations with President Joan Laporta about a movement.
Yet striking for the 1-0 victory of Barcelona in Benfica, Deco made it clear that he at least had no plans to bring Neymar back.
“It's not an economic issue. First of all, I think Neymar should try to be happy again, to enjoy football. And at the moment I see no better place for him than Brazil and Santos, his club. '
“A team is built with your head. Neymar was a phenomenon that went through it. He did what he did. He won what he won … Sometimes those stories are not repeated. They can be repeated, you never know … but I think this is not the time for Barcelona to think of Neymar, nor for Neymar to think about it, “he told TNT Sports Brasil, as quoted by Relefo.
Earlier it was reported that Barcelona Neymar has set two conditions to consider a transfer: that Neymar stays fit and arrives for free. During the past two seasons they are linked to a movement for a left wing player and returning to Camp Nou next season, Laporta would like to bring a star attraction. Yet manager Hansi Flick seems to be more in accordance with Deco's thinking.
