Barcelona reopens the door for Neymar return

Neymar, who was a part of the most feared attacking trident alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Barcelona, left the club for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017 in a then world-record £200 million ($258m) move.

The 27-year-old enjoyed a scintillating stint with the Blaugrana, winning eight titles including two La Liga trophies and the Champions League crown.

Ultimately, Barcelona failed to reach an agreement with PSG after spending around £174 million on the signings of Antoine Griezmann and Frenkie de Jong.

Abidal has now insisted that Barcelona still have the door open for Neymar’s return, claiming that the transfer will always remain a clear option for the club.

Neymar’s future at the Parc des Princes is still unclear and it remains to be seen if Barcelona will renew their interests in the Brazilian in the upcoming transfer window.
