Neymar’s return to Barcelona is quickly becoming more than just a rumor

The rumors of a possible return of Neymar Jr. to Barcelona refuse to die and are a consistent part of the discourse surrounding the Catalans ever since he departed the club six years ago under extremely chaotic circumstances.

It always felt like nothing more than clickbait, with several outlets of questionable reputation just looking for people to read their newest Neymar story. But this time, it really is starting to feel different.

It all began with the arrival of Luis Enrique at Paris Saint-Germain, someone who worked with Neymar for three years and had a relationship that can be best described as nothing but professional.
