After a fairy -tale return to one of his former clubs, Neymar set his sights to appear on another of his old stamping grounds next season, according to a report.
The Brazilian made an emotional return to the Brazilian giants last month after his £ 130 million a year contract with Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal was mutually ended.
The most important scorer of Brazil made Neymar his debut for Santos in 2009 and won the Copa Libertadores in 2011 after scoring in the final. During his four -year enchantment, he made 225 performances in all competitions, scored an impressive 136 goals and registered 64 assists.
The second enchantment of the 33-year-old has so far been largely overwhelming, seen, seen how much football he missed in the past year due to injury.
But according to the Spanish Outlet Cadena Ser, the attacker is already watching in the summer, with his former club Barcelona at the top of his preferred list.
Neymar became one of the most recognizable faces in sport and stared at Barcelona before completing a world record transfer to PSG in 2017. He formed an iconic front three next to Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez during his four years in the Camp Nou.
He scored 105 goals and assisted 76 in his 185 games for the Catalan giants.
The report from Spain claims that the return from Neymar to Santos is little more than an audition for European clubs to prove that he can still be a consistent player at the top.
Moreover, the attacker is said to also intend to strengthen his place in the Brazilian team for the World Cup 2026, which takes place in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Barcelona Sporting Director Deco admitted this week that the main objective of the club on the summer market is a left wing player.
“We have players who can play in different positions: Olmo, Raphinha, Fermín … but it is true that we might miss a player on the left wing,” he said Sport.
'It is not that it is an absolute priority because Raphinha performs perfectly and Fermín can play there, even if it is not his position.
“If you look at the team, we might have another player.”
Neymar would be an attractive option if he is willing to stay on similar wages if what he currently earns at Santos. The attacker took a large wage reduction facilitates the move.
Barcelona is limited on the market because of their continuous financial issues.
