FC Barcelona is not completely ruling out a return for Neymar, but the club has set strict conditions. According to Sport, the Catalan side would only consider his arrival if he comes for free and proves he can still be consistent and decisive on the pitch.
A European Comeback to Prepare for the 2026 World Cup
Brazilian sources report that Neymar is aiming for a Barcelona comeback in the summer of 2025 to revive his career in Europe and prepare for the 2026 World Cup. Currently back at Santos, the forward is working to regain his top form after years plagued by injuries.
