Neymar’s declaration that he would like to play with his former teammate Lionel Messi again has led the newspapers to wonder if such a reunion is possible.
The short answer seems to be yes, although it is not necessarily likely.
Barcelona interim president Carles Tusquets said Neymar could come, but only with a free transfer, unless Barcelona can raise money through sales.
“If it comes for free, it could be done, but if we don’t sell, there is no money to sign anyone. Right now it would be unaffordable, unless the next president has a miracle on his hands, ”he said.
Neymar has a five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain that expires in 2022.
Sports world recognizes that PSG could incite Messi to come from the other side. They say that the Parisian club is one of the few clubs in the world that could offer you the money you receive at Barcelona. Also, they have a team that is dominant in the national league and reached the UEFA Champions League final last season.
There he plays Ángel Di María, his friend, and also his compatriots Mauro Icardi and Leandro Paredes. Another possible reason Messi is joining is that Ligue 1 is considered less physical and could rest more games because PSG often sail towards the league title. Finally, the city of Paris itself could be an attractive proposition for the Argentine.
On another front, one of the main candidates for the presidency of Barcelona said that he was not worried about Neymar’s statements.
“It is normal for him to say it, they are friends and have an established hierarchy between them. This relationship is normal, ”said Jan Laporta.
Laporta said he didn’t want to say too much because he feared “destabilizing the team” but that he was working to improve Barcelona and tempt Messi to stay.
“I hope Leo can wait and listen to the proposal of the new Barcelona president,” he said.
A final possibility would be for a third club to get them both, although it seems difficult, given the way the football economy is going, that a team can afford to bring both of them.
