Neymar’s contract extension at Paris Saint-Germain came as a shock to FC Barcelona. The Catalans had been working on a return campaign for months and received signals from the Brazilian that indicated a willingness to switch. Did Neymar only use his ex-club for negotiation tactics?
At least that is what the club officials at FC Barcelona think. According to the Catalan radio station RAC1 Club representatives spent a full day in Paris with Neymar a month ago. Neymar is said to have informed her that he would like to return and that PSG cannot see a promising project.
Accordingly, the shock and disappointment about his eventual cancellation is great. The specific efforts of Barça and the strong hints of Neymar explain why there have been so often and so specifically reported about the possible return in the past few months.
In any case, this theater has paid off for Neymar. The 29-year-old offensive player can win up to 30 million euros per year, and his new contract, which runs until 2025, can also be extended by an additional season as an option.
