Barcelona could have done more to bring Neymar back: Messi

TIL Desk Sports/ Barcelona star Lionel Messi feels that the Catalan side did not go all out to bring Neymar back to the club after negotiations did not materialise with the Brazilian forward”s present club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

“I would have loved Neymar to have rejoined the club,” Messi said. “Honestly, I don”t know if Barcelona did everything possible to ensure his return. However, it is certainly true that negotiating with PSG isn”t easy.

“On a sporting level, Neymar is one of the best in the world. The club would also have taken a leap in terms of the level of image rights and sponsors,” the Argentine said. Neymar cost PSG a world record 222 million euro in August 2018 when he joined the French club from Barcelona.
