Lionel Messi reveals PSG forward Neymar is 'excited' over Barcelona return

The Brazil star featured for the Blaugrana from 2013 to 2017.

But it seems that he is set to return at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has revealed that Neymar wants to return to the La Liga champions and suggests he could help them lift the Champions League again. Barca were close to bringing the Brazil superstar back to the Camp Nou during the off-season, just two years after his world-record €222 million move to Paris Saint-Germain.

After months of negotiations, the deal fell through as the two clubs failed to reach an agreement on the transfer fee but Messi reveals he’s thrilled by the idea of returning to Spain. “He is very excited about returning, he has always shown that he regrets what happened. He did a lot to return and that could be the first step he took to try and come back,” Messi told Mundo Deportivo.


“Neymar has always been a top-level player and different to the rest. He is unpredictable, he takes players on and he scores lots of goals. On a sporting level, Neymar is one of the best in the world and I’d love for him to come back.” Messi then went on to address the acrimonious departure of the Brazilian when he blindsided the club and supporters with PSG activating his release clause.

“It’s normal that the fans felt that way because of how he left, and I was also upset about it at the time and we tried to convince him to not go,” Messi explains. But at the end of the day we all want to win and have the best players and so do the fans. As I’ve said before, he’s one of the best players around and gave us a lot on the pitch.”
