If we had asked FC Barcelona two or three years ago if they wanted to recover Neymar, the answer would have been obvious: yes. The Catalans have also tried many times to bring the Brazilian back, without success, since in recent years, the capital club has never wanted to let go of the Canarinha star. But the situation has changed lately.
PSG now want to make a clean sweep of the recent past and Neymar is one of the players who must leave to start a new cycle. Although, the arrival of Luis Enrique could be a game-changer, as the Spaniard knows well the player he had under his command at Barcelona. Just as his substantial salary is an obstacle for his potential suitors.
Barça does not want it
And according to Mundo Deportivo, he was indeed offered to Barça this summer, as had already been indicated by several media. On the other hand, the Spanish newspaper reveals to us the reasons why Barça and Xavi failed the Brazilian. There are financial reasons, firstly, which are obvious given the current situation of the Spanish champions.
The cases that have brought both sides to court in recent years are not helping, and Barca want to build their future around other players, including fellow countryman Vitor Roque. But above all, Barça believes that the arrival of the Parisian could ignite the locker room, and not for good. While the Barcelona group is doing well and is presented as very united, management fears that Neymar will spoil it all and cause problems. Like that, it’s clear.
