"Barcelona" team star Lionel Messi would gladly welcome Neymar this summer. In an exclusive interview with the "Sport" magazine, the Argentinean stated that he hoped for Neymar's return, although he understood that the deal was not easily achievable. "I would have liked to see Neymar back," the footballer said. "I don't really know if the club did everything to bring him back, but I also understand that negotiations with PSG are not easy." "I don't feel disappointed about it. I think we have a wonderful team, and even without a player like Neymar, we can compete for all trophies. As for the sporting principle, Neymar is one of the best players in the world. I have no doubt that with his sponsors and rights, the club would have also taken a step forward," Messi continued. When asked if reports that the team's dressing room actually put pressure on the club's management and demanded to complete the deal for Neymar's acquisition, Messi replied: "The club asked for our opinion, but we never demanded that he be bought. I certainly do not control such things." The Argentinean's situation at the "Barcelona" club also raised a lot of talk recently. As the footballer himself states, he is not currently worrying about his future. "Barcelona is my home and I don't want to leave them. But I also want to win," Messi is quoted in the headline of the "Sport" magazine.
