Neymar attracting interest from Premier League, but remains keen on Barcelona

Neymar has become a hot topic in Barcelona circles lately, as the PSG superstar pushes for a fabled return to Camp Nou.

However, his desire to make a return has not been received well at Barça, who are prioritising moves for other attackers in the market.

Three possible scenarios for Neymar

In the midst of uncertainty over the future of Neymar, Telegraph has come up with an update, suggesting that Premier League clubs are keeping close tabs on the attacker.

Although the report does not mention any particular club, Neymar has been linked with a move to Chelsea in the past.

Apart from the Premier League, Neymar’s other options include a move to Saudi Arabia. The oil-rich country has already approached the Brazilian recently, hoping to lure the attacker to the Middle East.

The PSG star can also move to the MLS, following in the footsteps of his former teammates Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets.

What about a move to Barcelona?

Barcelona have not completely ruled out the prospect of re-signing Neymar. After all, the player is liked by club president Joan Laporta.

Even Xavi himself reportedly prefers Neymar over Barcelona’s other attacking target, Joao Felix.

However, as things stand, Barcelona are not in a position to afford Neymar’s wages, even if the Brazilian settles for a salary cut at the club.

In order to afford the PSG superstar, the club must sell one more star player in addition to Ousmane Dembele. That could prove to be a risky move, considering the fact that the club have already lost a few star players this summer.

Neymar’s return to Camp Nou, therefore, looks almost impossible. There should be more clarity in the coming days, as Barcelona look to evaluate all options.
