‘He’ll be delighting the fans soon’: Neymar camp react to Barca comeback rumour

“The articles on Ney’s comeback to Barca from Al Hilal are lies and tremendous disrespect for Al Hilal and the athlete,” Neymar’s entourage say.

“Neymar is under contract with Al Hilal and he’s happy in Riyadh. Soon he is back to the pitch to delight the fans,” they add.

Earlier, it was reported that the Brazilian wanted to come back to Barcelona ‘at all costs’. The player was said to be offered to the club, but Hans-Dieter Flick said no.

Neymar is back in action for Al Hilal after spending 271 days on the sidelines through an injury he suffered last autumn.

The legendary Brazilian scored 18 goals and provided 17 assists in 28 appearances in 2022/23, his last season with Paris Saint-Germain.
