According to the Spanish media, FC Barcelona would consider calling on Saudis to complete the transfer of Neymar.
Reports of the Brazilian’s smash return to Camp Nou surfaced again last week and have gathered momentum in recent days. Neymar is apparently very enthusiastic about such a transfer, just like the Blaugrana hierarchy. Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, are more than happy to get rid of their record-breaking, expensive and injury-prone signing.
One man, however, has so far blocked any potential deals. This is FC Barcelona coach Xavi, who feels there is no need to bring his former team-mate back to the club. He is said to be of the opinion that Neymar wouldn’t fit into his current squad.
Nevertheless, the rumors about the transfer don’t die down and Catalan leaders like club president Joan Laporta are trying to convince Xavi to change his mind, believing that Neymar can still be a success on and off the pitch.
To try to attract the Brazilian megastar, FC Barcelona would be ready to call on Saudi Arabia.
Neymar to Barcelona via Saudi Arabia?
In any case, this is what SPORTwho claim FC Barcelona want to take advantage of their good relationship with Saudi Arabia to strike a deal that would see the 31-year-old return to Catalonia for a season.
The report claims that FC Barcelona, together with super agent Pini Zahavi, are trying to convince a Saudi club to sign Neymar permanently and then send him on loan to Spain for a year, while taking on most of the His salary.
” According to sources close to the negotiation, writes the Spanish media, it is the only option considered for a hypothetical return of Neymar… The contribution of the Saudi club would end up being compensated by commercial agreements which could also result in a friendly match. »
“It should be remembered that Pini Zahavi and Joan Laporta met with the president of the Saudi federation at the end of May to strengthen ties and open channels of collaboration. » But would a Saudi club accept such a far-fetched proposal?
