After a couple of seasons with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Neymar reportedly wants to move back to his former club Barcelona.
Even PSG coach Thomas Tuchel had admitted that he is aware of the Brazil International’s desire prior to the commencement of Copa America.
Barca are now reportedly in touch with PSG about striking a deal that will revolve around the 27-year-old’s future.
While addressing the media, Xavi, his former Barcelona teammate said, “In terms of football, he is a bomb, he is spectacular.”
“I consider him a good guy, humble, a hard worker that gave his best at Barcelona.
“But it is Barcelona who need to make that decision. I want the best for Barca. If someone can guarantee that Neymar will have success at Barca again, I would be the first to want him to come back.
“But you never know. It all depends on Barcelona and their decisions.”
Although there is no certainty yet regarding the forward’s future, Barcelona have already bagged a top striker in Antoine Griezmann
