At the weekend, Neymar extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2025. Before that, he is said to have told FC Barcelona that he wanted to return. Lionel Messi in particular should not be enthusiastic.
After a turbulent season, the situation at FC Barcelona has calmed down somewhat since the presidential elections in the spring. The Catalans are also doing better in terms of sport, even after the 0-0 draw against Atlético, the “Blaugrana” are still playing for the title in the Spanish championship.
That also seems to satisfy superstar Lionel Messi a bit, recently there was more and more reports of the Argentine staying in Barcelona. According to some rumors, Messi is said to have asked the club management to return Neymar.
Was the desire to return just a bluff?
In any case, nothing will come of this for the time being. On Saturday, the Brazilian announced his contract extension with the French capital club until 2025. Like the Catalan radio station «RAC1», via «picture», Reported, but only weeks before Neymar had expressed the wish to return to Barcelona.
Accordingly, the Spanish club sent an envoy to Paris a month ago to listen to the 29-year-old’s demands. At that time, Neymar should not have classified PSG as a winning project and wished for a return to Barcelona. His goal: to win the Champions League. Is it all just a bluff?
His turnaround should make for long faces at «Blaugrana», especially since Messi can only imagine staying if the team has the potential to win the premier class next year. Will there be another dispute between Neymar and FCB? As is well known, it would not be the first time the Catalans have been mad at their ex-player.
