Transfer update: Neymar is Barcelona’s priority and will do everything to return this summer

According to reports from RAC1, Neymar remains Barcelona’s priority signing for the upcoming summer transfer window, as he wishes to reunite with Lionel Messi in Spain. The transfer saga surrounding the Brazilian never seems to end, as he is linked to a move away from Paris Saint Germain once again.

The reliable outlet highlights that Barcelona have listed the winger as their number one target for the summer, adding more fuel to the fire considering the Brazilian is yet to officially put pen to paper on his new contract with the French giants.

It is now reported that Neymar himself is keen on returning to Barcelona and will do whatever he can to make the move possible. There has already been contact between the Catalans and PSG, but the Parisiens have refused Barcelona’s approaches, but the story is far from over.

Speculation about Neymar’s return to Barcelona has risen every transfer window since the star winger departed for Ligue 1 back in 2017. However, this time around, multiple reliable reports suggest that Barcelona’s pursuit of the Brazilian is seriously gaining traction.

Right now, the situation is extremely unclear, as PSG has been waiting for Neymar to sign his extension for quite a while now. The 29-year old has stated himself on numerous occasions that the extension is no longer a topic of discussion since he feels happy and comfortable in Paris.

Even so, he seems to be stalling as there have been no official announcements regarding his renewal. Barcelona are convinced that they can get him to return and that their offer won’t have to be too massive. Two years ago, the Catalans reportedly offered 130 million euros plus three players in exchange for Neymar, which clearly did not go through.

This time around, the club believes that his signature will be much easier to attain.
