Barcelona President Has Officially Confirmed Massive News Regarding Neymar Jr.’s Potential Return To The Club This Upcoming Summer
Barcelona President Joan Laporta has always been known for making high-profile signings, and there’s a chance he’ll pursue a reunion with Neymar Junior in the future.
The Brazilian attacker has apparently voiced a desire to return to Barcelona as Laporta.
According to Bar Canaletes, Neymar communicates often with Laporta, signalling his desire to return to Barcelona once his contract with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia expires.
Despite currently rehabilitating from an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in September, the 32-year-old’s contract with Al-Hilal expires in the summer of 2025, opening the door to a possible free transfer back to Barcelona at the age of 33.
It’s worth noting that Neymar’s son, Davi Lucca, lives in Barcelona with his mother, which could further encourage Neymar to return to the Catalan club.
Furthermore, Neymar’s rich deal in Saudi Arabia means that financial considerations are unlikely to be a barrier to his future move.
The time of his probable return also coincides with the buildup to the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, Canada, and the United States, which might motivate Neymar to exhibit his finest form as he prepares for his final major international event with Brazil.
Looking ahead to next summer, Barcelona may still face difficulties recruiting headline signings due to continued financial restrictions.
Neymar clearly has the talent and star power to rekindle excitement among Barcelona fans.
Nonetheless, concerns may arise about assembling a young team around an ageing and injury-prone player in his mid-thirties, especially given Neymar’s limited playing time over the last two years.
