BarcelonaAnother summer, there is a new season of the Barça-Neymar series. The Brazilian star left Barcelona six seasons ago and since then there has been speculation about his return, year after year. This time is no exception. As reported The Team this Monday afternoon, the Brazilian has asked to leave Paris Saint-Germain before the end of the transfer market. The news comes after the Paris club have offered the winger to the Catalan side on several occasions, although Xavi has opposed his return at all times.
In the offices, on the other hand, the operation would be viewed favorably, since the player’s agent and right-hand man is Pini Zahavi, who maintains a great relationship with Joan Laporta, and would facilitate negotiations at the moment the coach gives the go-ahead on his return. Xavi does not doubt the quality of Neymar. In fact, they played together for two seasons, but Egarenc’s priority is to strengthen himself with an interior and a full-back: Bernardo Silva and Cancelo are the ones he likes the most. Neymar has offered and knows Can Barça well, where he spent four years before landing in Paris in exchange for 222 million euros, but it was Xavi himself who rejected the operation. The global crash is no longer essential for the newcomer Luis Enrique, who has not taken long to knock on Barça’s door in search of replacements. The last attempt, Ansu Fati, who wouldn’t mind leaving the Blaugrana ranks.
With the more than likely departure of Dembélé, Barça loses imbalance, speed and quality on the wing, but the Neymar of today is not the same as the one who left Barcelona in 2017. He has not lost technical quality, nor the party spirit and the distractions that come with it. Beyond economic conditions, his arrival could cause friction within the dressing room. Another factor that worries the‘staff of Xavi Hernández is his form: he has accumulated long-term injuries in Paris and has not played an official competitive game since February 19.
Barça continues to be oversubscribed and cannot register players
In any case, and even if Xavi validated the operation and PSG favored his exit in the form of transfer, the salary limit works against the incorporation of Neymar to Barça. The Catalan team continues to be unable to register renewed players and new signings six days before the start of the season, which is why only 13 players from the club are listed in the League’s archives.
