Lionel Messi says there are people at Barcelona and among the club’s membership whose opposition would make it difficult to bring Neymar back to Spain.
“It is difficult to bring him back,” the Argentina international told Metro 95.1 in Buenos Aires.
“Firstly, because it was difficult to see him leave, secondly because of how he left.
“There are people from the club and the members who do not want him to return.
“If it is for sports, Ney is one of the best in the world, but I understand all the other factors.”
Messi has recently said he will never play for another club except for Barcelona, where he has spent the entirety of his professional club career.
It has been rumoured that the talismanic forward will sign a lifetime contract, as Andres Iniesta once did, but he played down that speculation, though admitted it had been discussed.
“It had been talked about a while ago,” the 32-year-old added, “as was done with Iniesta and the others.
“I don’t want a contract to tie me up, because I don’t know how I’m going to feel. I don’t want to be [under contract] if I’m not well.
“I’m going to compete as long as I feel good physically, but obviously I would stay a lifetime.”
Messi also revealed that his son Thiago already wants to be a footballer. “The world of football is very complicated.
"He's seven years old, he is beginning to enjoy football. Whether it is professional or not it has already be seen.”
“Thiago watches many videos on YouTube. He sees things from previous years and asks if it is true if such a thing happened to me if they told me such another."

I understand why people don't want Neymar back. but the truth is that Messi will always play when fit (desrevedly so) and Suarez will continue to fight for his spot, Griezmann is not a winger, and Dembele is too inconsistent. Ansu still has to learn, bringing someone like neymar would be great, he can help guide and teach Ansu and Ousmane and he will have a great relation with Messi Suarez and the rest of the team whom many of have admitted that they want him back

If that is the case as it was heard from the horse’s mouth, then he should ply his trade with any other big teams in other leagues.. REAL MADRID, JUVENTUS, PSG,MANCHESTER CITY, LIVERPOOL etc are as strong as BARCA.and are doing well competitively. Joining them will make him to ARISE and SHINE. The problem with NEYMAR is just that he likes to be the driver in front of the steering in any club he joins rather than a team builder. He is good but can’t be at the level of CR700 and MESSI in one fell swoop.He must try to play safe and avoid getting injury all the time. with these ideas, the sky is his limit.
