Barcelona players favouring Neymar’s return.

Neymar‘s transfer links to Barcelona have emerged of late as the Brazilian is said to be keen on reuniting with Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp.

The 29-year-old was reported to be closing in on a new long-term deal at PSG but he has put the contract talks on hold in order to pursue his dream return to Barca.

Latest reports suggest that the Catalans locker room including Messi is standing up for the return of the Brazilian while they oppose the transfers of Ronald Koeman’s targets Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum.

It remains to be seen whether the Catalans can pull off the transfer of Neymar amid a difficult financial situation.

Both the club and Messi are putting pressure on Neymar so that the Brazilian forward rethinks his future and contemplates dressing in Barça colours again. Weeks ago, Neymar was very excited to continue at PSG and renew his contract, but now circumstances have changed. [l'equipe]
