Less than a year after Neymar left Junior Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain, the first rumors about a return to the Catalan club started. That was in 2018 and seven years later, by spells at PSG, Al-Hilal and now Santos, the Brazilian superstar still seems to be interested in a return to the Blaugrana.
Neymar was connected to a return to Barcelona, the summer Lionel Messi left, and there was even brief about a comeback last summer. As it was, Neymar ended his contract with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia on his return from a cross and drew a six-month deal with his first club, Santos.
His goal is to return to fitness, but he will again be a free agent in the summer, and Sport says that Agent Pini Zahavi has communicated Neymar's wish to return to Barcelona. Zahavi, who has a strong relationship with President Joan Laporta, explained that Neymar would arrive for free and is willing to accept a 'reasonable' salary to return to Barcelona.
Currently, the sports department of the Neymar club considers an option on the table, without being the only or the primary target. That said, in Barcelona manager Hansi Flick he has a clear opposition. The German manager was against Neymar who kept to the club and does not want to hear from his return.
Previous reports note that Neymar has backers in the dressing room, in Lamine Yamal who aligns him, and Raphinha, who shares a dressing room with him for Brazil. Barcelona is also strongly connected to Liverpool -wing player Luis Diaz, but with great doubts about how much Barcelona will have to invest next summer, his arrival currently seems hypothetical. The affordable nature of the deal and the constant desire of Laporta to attract suporters with star arrangements will undoubtedly also work in favor of the Brazilian.
