Barcelona Transfers: Final Closure on Neymar 456461

The return of Neymar Jr. to FC Barcelona has been a matter that has hovered over the offices of the Blaugrana club for months as a real possibility. Joan Laporta, the club's president and a great irer of the Brazilian, was the one who spearheaded the idea of bringing back the player, even maintaining close s with his circle. However, despite the initial interest, the club has ultimately decided to definitively abandon any attempt to bring back the former PSG player.

Economically, the operation seemed feasible: Neymar's contract with Santos will end on June 30th, and he would arrive for free, intending to get fit for the 2026 World Cup, his last major international challenge. Additionally, it aligned with the club's new salary model, with a salary close to 10 million euros per season. Even his footballing profile fit: a left winger with experience and offensive versatility.

However, as reported by Sport, the sporting direction has taken a step back. Two reasons have been decisive: firstly, the spectacular growth of Lamine Yamal, whom the club already sees as its main figure for both present and future. The young academy player will be the face that inaugurates the new Spotify Camp Nou, and in that context, Neymar's arrival would have overshadowed his consolidation.

The second, more concerning factor is the player's physical fragility. Since his return to Brazil, he has barely been able to play consistently due to muscle injuries and the lengthy recovery from his ligament rupture suffered in 2023. Faced with doubts about his performance and medical reliability, Barcelona has chosen to close the Neymar chapter. This time, definitively.
