Gerard Piqué has spoken out about the rumors linking Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar to a return to Barcelona.
“I believe that the operation is very complicated, the player belongs to PSG,” the defender began. “I would be delighted to have him here, although it has to be Neymar who has to speak out. Of course we speak with him, but it’s not opportune to disclose private conversations. It is him that needs to come out and talk. He is a genius inside and outside the pitch, and we wait for updates.”
Neymar’s desire to leave Paris and return to Barcelona is practically an open secret at this point, but the player himself has not made a public statement on the matter.
