Barcelona Vice-President Jordi Mestre Says Neymar Return Is 'Highly Unlikely'

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar almost certainly won't be making a return to Barcelona, according to the Catalan giants' vice-president Jordi Mestre.

Neymar has been linked with his former club since he left them for PSG in a world-record €222 million move in 2017, but Mestre has shut down such talk.

He told Sport (h/t Football Espana):

"Neymar is one of the best footballers in the world; he is a star.

"As a matter of principle, I do not believe that Barcelona should countenance his return, and my belief is that it is highly unlikely that he will play for the club again.
