Xavi Backs Barcelona Over 'Incredible' Neymar Pursuit & 'Spectacular' Griezmann Signing

Barcelona legend Xavi has endorsed potential Camp Nou transfer deals for Neymar and Antoine Griezmann, labelling the potential return of the Brazilian superstar from Paris Saint-Germain as 'incredible' and calling the expected arrival of the Frenchman 'spectacular'.

After two fraught, injury-hit years in France, Neymar is known to be keen on a return to his former club. But whether Barcelona are actually interested in making it happen or will even have the money available to fund his return is unclear.

Xavi, who played with Neymar for two seasons before winding down his illustrious career in Qatar, is convinced that it would be a great move, although he acknowledged the difficulty.
