Xavi No Longer Ruling Out Neymar’s Return to Barça

Could PSG let Neymar go back to FC Barcelona? Xavi, the Catalan coach, is no longer so closed off to the idea…

Previously hesitant, Xavi expressed his disappointment in seeing Ousmane Dembélé leave and is now opening the door for Neymar. « Listen, I appreciate Neymar as a person, as a player, as a friend, he is a great player, but he is not in our plans, no, » he initially stated on Monday evening.

However, there’s a twist. Xavi is no longer so firmly against it. « Neymar? I can’t say. Last year, I talked about a player from another team and they got upset. So we’ll see by the end of the transfer window. »

Neymar, who had previously stated his intention to stay at PSG this season, is also being followed by clubs in the MLS, Premier League, and Saudi Arabia.
