DBasia.news – The potential return of Neymar to Barcelona was welcomed by Xavi Hernandez. However, the former Barcelona legend was not sure the transfer could be realized.
Neymar’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain is getting worse every day. The Brazilian striker missed the first day of preseason training and made PSG plan to sell it if there was a suitable offer.
Besides Real Madrid, Neymar’s former club, Barcelona, also intend to bring him. However, Xavi considered it would be very difficult for Barca to repatriate Neymar.
“He will be a great recruit, but honestly this will be difficult. Very difficult,” Xavi said.
“We have seen a lot of impossibility in football, like when PSG bought Neymar 222 million euros. No doubt he is one of the best players in the world, but we are waiting for what steps Barcelona will take.”
Besides Neymar, Barcelona are also said to be trying to get Antoine Griezmann. Related to this, Xavi believes the French striker will be a good addition to the Blaugrana squad.
“He is a great player, a world-class star who has made a difference at Atletico Madrid and France. It is still not official, but it seems he will join Barcelona,” he added.
