On Tuesday, Neymar Junior completed his move from Paris Saint-Germain to Al Hilal, becoming the latest big name to join Saudi Arabia’s ranks.
Neymar has been linked with a return to Barcelona, six years after leaving the club to join PSG, and the Brazil international has reportedly been pushing for that to become a reality, but it hasn’t turned out to be the case.
FC Barcelona’s new sporting director Deco, who was officially appointed to the role on Wednesday, has explained why the Catalan club have not re-signed the 31-year-old, according to Report.
“Everyone knows that at this time, unfortunately, our financial situation did not allow us to make such an offer.
This admission is expected, because the financial difficulties of FC Barcelona are well known. Al Hilal paid €90m plus €50m to PSG to land Neymar, sums the Blaugrana can only dream of spending at this stage.
