Neymar may not be able to play with Philippe Coutinho and Arthur this summer due to the injury that has kept him out of the Copa America, but the two midfielders would be keen to play with the forward at club level.
They spoke after Brazil's 5-0 win over Peru about the possibility of Neymar returning to Barcelona, a club they both joined after his departure for Paris Saint-Germain.
"Of course I would like it," Arthur told MARCA.
"He is a great player.
"It's not only me, it's everyone.
"The more great players next to each other the better."
Coutinho echoed those comments.
"To play with Neymar is incredible," the former Liverpool man said.
"He is a superstar.
"I don't know what will happen, but it's always a source of happiness to speak about playing with him."

We all would want Neymar back but let's face reality here, we would spend 200m for Neymar whiles we would spend just 120m for Griezman and get another player whether De ligt or someone else.

It will be very difficult for Coutinho to operate freely in the middle cos of Messi's position. So for me, a full fit Dembele will false me to put Coutinho on the bench. But I will not sell Coutinho for any reason this season

Coutinho :sir if Neymar return to Barca where will you be ? Coutinho : well I don’t know the board will decide on that but if Neymar coming back to Barca will affect my game by going to seat on the bench then Neymar should remain in PSG because I don’t even know if Liverpool will accept me back just in case
