Barcelona scout meets with Neymar’s entourage as PSG star attempts La Liga return - report

Neymar’s entourage met with Barcelona scout André Cury before Christmas, Catalunya Ràdio reports. Earlier rumors in the Catalan press have repeatedly insisted the Paris Saint-Germain star is desperate to get a move back to Catalonia, but now, we are hearing of a direct meeting between the two parties that could prove pivotal.

Cury, an important figure in Barcelona’s Brazilian operations, reportedly met with Pini Zahavi, an agent who facilitated Neymar’s move to PSG, and Álvaro Costa, an intimate friend of the star and a go-between for Barcelona and Nike.

This would be the first face-to-face meeting in a hypothetical Neymar homecoming.
