According to a recent report, FC Barcelona might still expect a miracle for next summer’s transfer window from Paris Saint-Germain. 

Contrary to what the French media is saying, FC Barcelona still looks like they are keen on signing Neymar from PSG. In recent weeks, we reported that the player was already in talks to get a new contract extension that would tie him to the French giants for the next 3-5 years.

The local press from Paris was convinced that the player no longer wanted to play at FC Barcelona due to the club’s lack of liquidity. But Josep Maria Bartomeu’s exit and the pandemic changed everything for the player. According to a recent report from Diario Sport. Neymar Senior is already in talks with a number of candidates for FC Barcelona’s presidency that have the player as an option.

In previous election cycles at the club, candidates tend to use stars as the perfect publicity pull to get elected. It is reported that the two most important candidates for president already made contact with Neymar. The player wishes to return to Barcelona before Lionel Messi leaves and becomes his successor to the throne. However, there are some obstacles that could prevent him from going back. 

This could be the main reason Neymar wouldn’t return to FC Barcelona. His legal issues with the Catalan club are at the top of the club’s list to settle before making a move for the player. As of right now, Neymar is still very much involved in a legal battle that hasn’t ended since he left Barcelona in 2017.

The report confirms that the player made his choice and won’t be extending his contract with his current club. All this scenario opens up a new possibility for Barcelona to get that player they allowed to leave back to where he belongs. If they manage to get past all these obstacles, all they need is to have the necessary money to pay for his transfer.

Barcelona’s most urgent problems are economic, especially after the hit they took during the global pandemic. We will keep you informed about what happens with Neymar as soon as we get to know more information on this case.
