Lionel Messi Would Welcome Neymar Back To Barcelona

Barcelona are at the very top of the La Liga but Lionel Messi still wants Neymar to return to the club.

The Brazilian winger quit the Catalan giants in the summer of 2017 for an astounding £200m (€222m) transfer sum to Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar turned into one of the world’s top players at Camp Nou but wanted to escape Messi’s shadow.

His exit was followed up by two massive transfers of Ousmane Dembele (£135m) and Philippe Coutinho (£142m) from Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool respectively. However, neither of the two have brought out the same impact as Neymar was with the Blaugrana, yet.

Speaking to the press about Neymar’s probable return, Messi said, “I think it’s complicated. We would love for him to come back for what it would mean, as much as a player as for the dressing room.”

“We are friends, we had great moments, others not so much, but we passed a lot of time together. However, it looks very hard for him to leave Paris. PSG won’t let him quit.”

Neymar is one of the highest paid footballers on this planet and has a contract with PSG till the summer of 2022. According to latest reports, the Brazilian trickster will be free to leave the Ligue 1 side in 2020 for a release clause of £160m.
