Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has claimed that Barcelona “always wanted” to bring Neymar back tot he Camp Nou but reckons the Brazilian didn’t want to go.
Rumors of a Barca return for Neymar have attracted plenty of headlines almost ever since he moved to the French capital and returned again this summer.
Neymar ended up signing a new deal until 2025 with PSG, and Al-Khelaïfi reckons the former Barca star didn’t need much convincing.
“Barcelona always wanted to bring Neymar back, that is no secret. But did Neymar want to go? No. It is true that at that time, his adaptation to Paris & France was still incomplete,” he said.
