Back at Santos since January, Neymar (33) is hoping to regain form before making a return to Europe, with one clear goal: rejoining FC Barcelona.
The Brazilian forward has signed a contract until June, but his ultimate dream remains to wear the Blaugrana jersey once again.
According to Catalan newspaper Sport, his agent Pini Zahavi has already begun negotiations to persuade Barça’s management. Well-connected with club president Joan Laporta, the Israeli businessman has emphasized several key points: Neymar is eager to return, willing to accept a reduced salary, and will be a free agent after his stint in Brazil.
While Hans-Dieter Flick and his coaching staff are reportedly not entirely sold on the idea, Barcelona’s sporting directors see Neymar as a potential option, especially given the club’s financial struggles. At a low cost, the Brazilian’s return could prove to be a strategic opportunity for a Barça side still looking to strengthen its attack.
