Negotiations are still in the early stages -- at least it seems that way -- but Neymar is convinced he will be back at Barcelona next season. That's what he's told his would-be teammates.
Neymar never leaves anyone indifferent. He's not taking part in the Copa America but his name is on everyone's lips. Firstly, for the alleged rape claim brought against him and secondly for his possible return to Barça. Brazil is following everything closely because he's the country's star player.
Meanwhile, Neymar has tried to disappear from the public eye. He's not seen at Brazil's Copa games, he's not overly active on social media and it was only on Thursday that he resurfaced, visiting his Brazil teammates and then more recently at a Sao Paulo hospital for tests on his ankle injury.
Little else is known of him at the moment. However, Barcelona's player, at least some of them, do have news because they're in touch with him. As we reported previously, there's interest inside the dressing room in how the contact between Barça and Neymar is advancing. SPORT have learned that in one of the last messages Neymar sent to the players, he told them: "Relax, I'll come."
Neymar's convinced that talks between Barça and PSG will progress, despite the difficult relationship between the two clubs. He has already told the French club of his desire to return to Camp Nou and Barça know that, too.
The Brazilian still has an excellent relationship with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who he still has a Whatsapp group with, called ‘los tres sudacas’. All three are in Brazil but, at this stage of the competition, have not yet met in the Copa America on the pitch or even in the same city.

The way things are, I can gladly agree we need Neymar very much because this dude is a special talent. On Griezman I'm not that much in support because Barca can promote Abel Ruiz for back up and the kid is amazing. Imaging a front line of Neymar Messi Dembele This would be similar to the days of Villa Messi Pedro. Remember Messi scored 91 goals in a year as a number 9. We need a young mid of Arthur De Jong and Alena because these kids are hungry 4 trophies. I excluded Suarez and Busquets as regulars because yes they have experience but the energy to get going the whole season is what they luck because they are aging. Loosing De Ligt to Juve is not a big deal because we have Todibo who is young and composed. For the sake of normal things please Alba needs back up. My biggest wish is to see Valverde the enemy of progress to leave.

I don't think so 1. Neymar influences PSG marketing a lot. 2. Hs is the only one who can fulfill their ucl dreams. 3. PSG spent huge on ney deal, they can't let him go just after 2 seasons(He didn't play both seasons complete). It tarnish PSG's image in transfer market. 4. After real madrid spree in transfer market, Barca have a task to build their team and they can't pay for ney deal. 5. Ney's father is not on good terms with Barca management. But I hope I am wrong, Ney has great potential and he deserves to be a barca leader(maybe he already is).

The only reason we need him back is because he is the only player that knows how to play the way we do. Coutinho doesn’t know and that is why he can’t play properly without trying to learn that way, because you need years of experience. Only certain players can come here and know the Barca way, Dembele has the potential to learn it, but his health is holding him back and injuries, if he controls his health he can be Neymar replacement. We just need that side of the triangle to build a more stable and flexible front three which is MSN. We can’t continue to play a 4-4-2, because it isn’t the Barca way. When we come back Valverde needs to understand that he can’t play his way every time, we need to play the Barca way

Messi even can't do as much as aguero did today . Messi is , used to , will only dribble and can't do nothing . Cannot change according to situation . # Remember the Ronaldo history , he was the most dribbling player in history until he was at united , Changed himself into fastest attack player in ground and air in Real Madrid . Now , his captaincy working far better that anyone have ever done in Juventus . Messi can show something only in barcelona only if his team mate are great like alba , neymar , inesta . If not he is just a little joker dribbler which make us fun to watch . Actually i am messi fan but now a days ronaldo make me jealous and messi dissapoint . #Change_yourself_messi #Returned_neymar_might_change_something

you can only grow to another dimension especially in sports when you get along with great players of your discipline. people single out themselves to get the spotlight but are bowed at because average players with no experience can lift you up to that level. Neymar left Barcelona to gain the spotlight in PSG away from the shadow of Messi talents that's what some people say not knowing that the lights of Messi and suares would let him grow. let him come back to camp nou and have spiritual and footballistic refill.

Forget Neymar ,his the past now I think Barca should go all out for mbappe next transfer then give more time to Abel Ruiz and get junior from betis as backup for alba
