Neymar does not want to return to FC Barcelona. While the Spanish press announced this week that the Brazilian had made a return to Barça his top priority by the end of the transfer window, the player has just denied it. Through the X account of his official website, the former Blaugrana said this: “in addition to being a LIE, this article is an incredible lack of respect towards the athlete and his club, Al Hilal. Neymar Jr. has a contract with the Saudi club, he is happy in Riyadh and he will soon return to the field for the pleasure of fans around the world”.
The Seleçao’s all-time top scorer (128 caps, 79 goals), who suffered a cruciate ligament rupture last October, is reportedly about to return to the competition. A year after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, the 32-year-old attacking midfielder is likely to stay in Saudi Arabia, because in any case, Barça didn’t seem to want him anyway. Hansi Flick is reportedly firmly opposed to Neymar returning to Catalonia.
