DBasia.news – The Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi, finally spoke about the issue of Neymar’s transfer to Barcelona. Messi claimed not to know the efforts made by his club to recruit Neymar.
Barcelona tried to send Neymar back to Camp Nou in the 2019 summer transfer window. In fact, Barcelona’s last offer also included three players including Ivan Rakitic and Ousmane Dembele.
Unfortunately, until the transfer window was closed, Neymar remained at Paris Saint-Germain. The situation makes Lionel Messi doubt whether Barcelona will seriously repatriate Neymar.
“I really want Neymar to join. To be honest, I don’t know if Barca did everything to bring it back. However, I’m sure negotiations with PSG will not be easy,” explained Messi to Sport.
“I am not disappointed. We have a great squad that can fight on all fronts. In fact, even without Neymar,” he added.
The collaboration of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suarez on the front lines presents many achievements for Barcelona. Three years together, the MSN trio led the Blaugrana to win two LaLiga titles, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
“At the sports level, Neymar is one of the best players in the world. On the sponsorship and club image, he will also give a step forward,” said Messi.
Several Barcelona players led by Lionel Messi reportedly urged the club to repatriate Neymar. When confirmed about the news, Messi denied.
“We have never asked Barcelona to bring Neymar. We only give opinions,” said Messi.
“Did I do something? The evidence says that’s not the problem.”
So far, Lionel Messi has not appeared to strengthen Barcelona in the 2019-2020 season. La Pulga is also uncertain when playing Barcelona against Valencia and Borussia Dortmund.
