'It's impossible' - Barcelona not expected to sign Neymar as Ligue 1 broadcaster makes transfer prediction

The president of Mediapro, the company that is set to broadcast Ligue 1 from next season, claims it is impossible that Barcelona will be able to afford to bring Neymar back to Camp Nou as the coronavirus crisis will have deeply affected their financial resources.

Neymar has long been linked with a return to Barca since departing the club for a world record fee of €222 million (£198m/$263m) back in 2017, with the player himself having agitated for a switch before the 2019-20 season began.

The Brazilian has never been far from the Blaugrana's plans since he left the club and is once again high up their wishlist for when the current campaign does eventually come to a close once Covid-19 is fully under control.
