Neymar raises speculation about Messi’s future

Brazilian Neymar da Silva, the French player for Paris Saint-Germain, raised doubts about his desire to return to play with his former colleague Lionel Messi, the Barcelona star.

After Paris Saint-Germain beat Manchester United 3-1, in the match that brought them together on matchday five of the Champions League group stage, Neymar said: “I want to play with him (Messi) again, and I’ll let him play for me if he wants. “

He added: “Next year, we definitely have to play together.”

Messi had previously been associated with leaving Barcelona during the last summer transfer period, as he confirmed to the club’s management at the time his desire to activate the Camp Nou free-exit clause, but Josep Maria Batumi (former president of the Barcelona) adhered to the club’s right to obtain the value of the penalty clause concluded in Liu’s contract, estimated at 700 million euros, especially since the activation date of the clause had expired.

The situation did not calm down about Messi’s future, and Neymar’s statements made things more complicated, as the Brazilian confirmed that he wanted to play with Messi again in 2021.

It should be noted that Neymar left Barcelona during the summer of 2017 to Paris Saint-Germain in an agreement that is the most expensive in history for 222 million euros.
