Neymar has been a dream for Barcelona ever since he left the Camp Nou for Paris Saint-Germain, but the Catalans know that the Brazilian carries baggage.
The player's ability is beyond doubt, which he had proven at Barcelona before leaving for France, and the on-field advantages his return would bring are clear.
But Neymar's legal issues with the club are problematic, and nobody has forgotten that it was the player's own decision to leave Catalonia, not to mention his life away from football.
"The team have been poor since Neymar and [Andres] Iniesta left," Bernd Schuster said to Cope.
"They're missing a player who can dribble and go one on one.
"[Ousmane] Dembele and [Antoine] Griezmann haven't given Barcelona what they need yet.
"I think the piece that'll take them closer to winning the Champions League is Neymar - even [Philippe] Coutinho couldn't do it."
As clear as Schuster is that Barcelona need to make a deal happen, Carles Rexach doesn't see it as possible.
"Analysing the current situation, I don't think it's possible for him to return," he said.
"It's not feasible.
"I think he has realised the importance of Barcelona, now he's less noticed at PSG."

Let me help you digest, and do forensic analysis of the subject matter for more clarity! Note π : π Messi, pique, Bubsquet etc tried all they could to stop Neymar from leaving but Neymar left anyway and now realized he made mistake in the first. πAfter Neymar and Iniesta left Messi has scored more goals and provided more assist than before. Meaning Neymar and Iniesta made Barcelona good but Messi is better with or without them. π Messi has not failed a season to win golden shoe since Neymar left. Meaning Barcelona may miss Ney but not Messi. π Last season alone without Ney or Iniesta,with Saurez injured but with no striker only academy /lΓ masia student Antsu Fati Messi won the fifa best award, UEFA best forward award, Pichichi, balloondeor and ultimately Messi won the best sport man award, all without Neymar, Iniesta, Suarez! π Since Ney departed camp Nou, he has remained under Mbape shadows, has not won any individual awards, so he needs Barcelona to relaunch himself and needs assistance of Messi.

Someone should tell those fools, Messi is magnificent but they play for him. The GOAT π plays for the whole team and doesn't need anyone to do it for him. Not being rude, but he's destined to do so. Take a good look at him at Sporting CP, at Manchester United, at Real Madrid, at Juventus, at Portugal........he was always the best. Everywhere you go, just be the π

Neymar gambled with his carrer and he lost(for now) but he still got time to get back and improve.Ronaldo won most of his ballon dor's after 30 so why Neymar cant do that too.Good luck Nene.
