Neymar represented Brazil in a friendly against Uruguay on Friday evening and he was asked about whether or not he could return to Barcelona.
In response, the Brazilian offered no words but instead smiled at the question, remaining a complete enigma about his future.
Recently, his return was spoken about as impossible at Barcelona, but now things have shifted slightly and the door is creaking open.
Pep Segura, the club's sporting director, has started to open it ever further a recent interview.
"If we believe that, despite the insult to us, it must be him then it will be him," Segura said to La Vanguardia.
The main factor in favour of the move is the player's own desire to return to Catalonia and Barcelona are aware of it.
Both the club's offices and dressing room know he wants to return, and those at the Camp Nou are happy for it to happen.
Neymar Senior continues his business and, as every year, he offers his son around to Europe's elite.
As reported by MARCA already, the star was offered to Barcelona just last summer.
Just as the Brazilian was offered to Barcelona, he was offered to Real Madrid as well and the Paris Saint-Germain jewel remains Florentino Perez's great obsession.
The last word, however, remains with PSG and the Ligue 1 side are specialists in refusing to sell a player.
If Neymar is to return to Spain it will take an offer of 222 million euros once more, with reports saying there is a verbal agreement between the player and club to allow him to leave should such a proposal be made.

Neymar can never go back to Barcelona, you know why?,ok.. Neymar was the best player in Barcelona according to me, he's presence alone was a trait to the opponents. Neymar saved Barcelona many times but all the praises goes to messi Barcelona fans always gave messi praises morethan Neymar. Interms of dribbling and skills move Neymar was way better than messi. messi just got this agility and stability because he has a greater surface area to volume ratio unlike Neymar. Neymar has been their source of winning but yet all the accolades, worship and praises always goes to messi. Neymar is the best player in the world right now, i respect him so much, he's my idol. Neymar is just too good, probably better than messi to be under his shadow. Neymar pls remain in PSG and creates a museum of your own, you're the best for me.

Neymar is a good player and I respect him for that. but to say Messi was earning from Neymar's glory is not true. it doesn't take only one season for a player to receive such everlasting glory which Messi receives. we have player funs and team funs. For player funs wherever he goes his funs follow him, but, for team funs the give the players funs whilst you are in the team. when you leave the team they don't follow you any longer. Messi has established his fun base in Barca by playing seriously for them over a long period. You don't expect Neymar to achieve that in the team just for a short time.
