Barcelona's superstar Lionel Messi would have liked to see his former club colleague Neymar back in the jersey of the Catalans. "I would have been glad if Neymar had come back," Messi told the Barcelona-based newspaper "Sport": "In sports terms, Neymar is one of the best in the world for me."
However, the injured Argentinian attacker did not know whether a return of the 27-year-old would have actually met the desire of the club. "I do not know if the club wanted it, as far as I know Neymar was very interested, but I do not know if Barça did anything that was possible," Messi said. According to Barcelona club president Josep Maria Bartomeu, the Catalans had never planned a transfer.
Neymar moved from Barcelona to the French champion Paris Saint-Germain two years ago for a record deal of € 222 million. According to media reports Neymar PSG has offered to "buy free" for 20 million euros to be able to move back to Barcelona.
