According to former Barcelona correspondent Gerard Romero, 32-year-old Brazilian star Neymar had hoped to return to Barcelona during this summer’s transfer window, but was rejected by the club.
Barcelona had been hoping to sign a winger this summer, and according to Romero, Neymar recommended himself through his team to Barcelona, but was turned down.
Since suffering a serious knee injury in November 2023, Neymar has yet to make an official comeback, which naturally raises concerns about his physical condition. In addition, his high salary is likely not something that Barcelona can afford at the moment.
On the other hand, after failing to secure Nico Williams, Barcelona may now turn their attention to Italian winger Federico Chiesa, who has been excluded from Juventus’ squad for this season.
