Surprised by the rumor, Xavi had closed the door on Neymar’s return to FC Barcelona. The Barca coach is not interested and favors other positions to strengthen. But behind his back, his leaders are working to obtain the loan of the attacking midfielder under contract to Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar’s situation could well change in the coming weeks. Again pushed towards the exit, the attacking midfielder of Paris Saint-Germain will see Luis Enrique land, a coach he knows well after their successful stint at FC Barcelona. It would not be surprising to learn that the Spanish coach opposes his departure. Before knowing the identity of Christophe Galtier’s successor, Neymar nevertheless opened the door to his exit.

The Brazilian was particularly marked by the demonstration of supporters in front of his home. It remains to be seen whether a European club will be willing to bet on a losing star. For the past few days, there has been talk of a possible return to Catalonia. This is confirmed by the Barça Times Twitter account. After Lionel Messi’s refusal, a manager would have actually contacted Paris Saint-Germain for a simple loan from Neymar. The club of the capital would not be totally opposed to it. But the Spanish champion will have to sell several players to afford such an operation.
Xavi is not interested
For his part, the former talent of Santos would be ready to accept a sharp drop in salary at Barcelona. It would still be necessary to convince Xavi who has not planned to recruit Neymar. And who said he was surprised by the rumor of his return. ” Ah good ? It is a surprise. In theory, he is not in our planshad replied the technician to Jijantes. I appreciate him a lot as a person but there are other priorities. “Xavi especially expects a defensive midfielder, a center forward and a right side.
