Reports of Neymar's desire to return to "Barcelona" are not fabricated out of thin air - these intentions were confirmed by the club's vice president himself.
Speaking at a board meeting, Jordi Cardoneras stated that they are aware that the Brazilian football star is inclined to leave Paris Saint-Germain and return to Catalonia, but also emphasized that as of now, the management has not discussed this.
"Neymar wants to return to 'Barcelona', but this was not the topic of discussion at the board meeting. I hear and read a lot of things, but the only fact is that no one has contacted us. There are many players who would like to wear the jersey of our team," J. Cardoneras said.
"I completely understand his desire to come back here, but we have to look again at the reasons why he left the club in the first place and then try to avoid a similar scenario," he added, while the vice president of "Barcelona" also expressed clear interest in the Brazilian.
It is said that the crucial date that may determine Neymar's future will be July 8. At that time, the PSG team must return to training, and if the Brazilian is not among the players, it will be possible to understand that he refuses to continue wearing the Paris team's jersey and will not change his position until he is sold to "Barca".
PSG paid 220 million euros for Neymar in 2017. Now the Brazilian may cost even more, but the Catalans hope to include Philippe Coutinho in the deal.
