Barcelona president speaks on ‘deliberate return’ of Neymar

Written by on October 23, 2018

Barcelona chief, Josep Maria Bartomeu has ruled out any plan to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar in the January transfer window.

Neymar left the La Liga champions after PSG activated his €222million release clause in 2017, making him the most expensive player of all time.

However, latest rumours have suggested that Barca were contemplating making a move to bring Neymar back to Camp Nou and Bartomeu did little to dismiss such talk.

“We don’t plan to sign anyone in January unless the coaches ask for someone before then,” Bartomeu told Catalunya Radio.

“It’s a smaller squad because we have B team players who can make the first team.
