The Argentine doubts that a move could occur despite speculations that link the Brazilian with a return to Camp Nou
Lionel Messi does not believe that Barcelona can afford to bring Neymar back to the club.
Since moving to Paris Saint-Germain for a world record € 222 million in 2017, Neymar has been constantly linked with a return to Camp Nou and a reunion with Messi.
But such a move has yet to materialize and with Barça’s current financial difficulties, it seems that the return of Neymar’s storybook is a long way off.
The Brazilian recently expressed his desire to play alongside Messi again next season, but it is unclear where that reunion would take place.
Talking to The sixthMessi admitted that his current team probably doesn’t have the funds to bring the Brazilian back.
“How do you pay Paris for the transfer?” Messi asked. “It is not easy, it will be a difficult situation for the new president. You will have to be very smart, put everything in order and make a lot of changes to make it work.
“It will also be difficult to bring players because we need money and there is no money. There are several important players that we have to fight again for everything and we have to pay them.”
On Neymar’s recent declaration that he wants to be Messi’s teammate again, he added: “He didn’t say, ‘Let’s play’, he said, ‘I’d like to play’… right?
“Yes, we talk from time to time. The three of us with him or with Luis. [Suarez] everyday. We maintain the relationship. “
Another Messi relationship that has generated speculation involves Antoine Griezmann, after the French star’s uncle struck the Argentine last month.
Messi, however, has downplayed any potential dispute with his teammate, saying the two get along.
“The relationship is good, I already said it,” Messi insisted. “I never had problems with him and I never did everything that was said, that I did not want his signing and all that, I think it was more than clarified.
“I have no problems, the relationship is good and sometimes we have mate together in the dressing room and on trips. There is nothing.”
