DBasia.news – Eric Abidal, Barcelona’s sporting director, stated that Barca are still targeting Neymar to enter the team in the upcoming transfer season. Abidal also said that returning Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain to Catalunya would always be a choice for Barca.
Neymar won success during his career at Camp Nou between 2013 and 2017, winning a total of eight trophies, including two LaLiga titles and the Champions League.
The 27-year-old attacker had formed a death trident with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi at Barca, but chose to leave to Paris to get out of the shadow of Messi.
In the summer of 2017, Neymar completed a world transfer record of £ 200 million, with him signing a five-year contract with the French giants.
Unfortunately, Neymar’s career at the Parc des Princes was overshadowed by disciplinary problems and a series of injuries, which then made his future lively discussed.
Neymar actually thought of returning to Barca last summer, claiming he regretted leaving them for PSG, while the Spanish champion did not meet the price agreement and canceled his repatriation.
Even so, Barca Abidal’s sporting director insisted that the door was always open to the attacker. To Mundo Deportivo, he said: “(Neymar is) a top player, who has a Barca philosophy and performs at a high level, he will always be an option.
“From there, at the sport level we can make decisions, but the problem is financially, there are some things you can achieve while others don’t.
“The future will answer. If he continues at this level, as the season is still away, I won’t say he is the number one option, but he can be a clear option. “
Neymar is still under contract at PSG until June 2022.
