Why There Are Fresh Doubts About Barcelona Trying to Re-Sign Neymar

Barcelona failed to re-sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer and there are now doubts over whether the club will resurrect their interest due to the emergence of teenage sensation Ansu Fati and the more pressing need for a ‘number nine’.

Neymar controversially joined PSG in 2017 when the French side triggered his €222m buyout clause to make the Brazilian the most expensive player in history, but the summer just gone was dominated by gossip about an impending return to Camp Nou after two years of regret.

Neymar was alleged to have ‘cried’ when he was informed the closing stages of the transfer window that he wouldn’t be returning to Barça.
