LaLiga: Why Neymar desperate for Barcelona return

Paris Saint-Germain star, Neymar is reportedly desperate to return to Barcelona, but the LaLiga champions are reluctant to bring the Brazilian international back to Camp Nou.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Neymar almost instantly regretted his move to Paris, and is not happy with the emergence of fellow teammate, Kylian Mbappe, who has taken some of the limelight away from him. 

The report claimed that the forward also feels targeted by opposition defences in Ligue 1, and is determined to secure a return to the Catalan club.

Neymar scored 105 goals in 186 appearances for Barca between 2013 and 2017, before completing a world-record move to PSG in last summer’s transfer window. 

The 26-year-old has netted 32 times in 35 appearances for PSG since joining the French giants. 

However, Barcelona has already signed Neymar’s replacement, Ousmane Dembele from Dortmund.

Dembele has impressed for the Blaugrana in the early stages of the 2018-19 campaign. 

It is understood that Barcelona are not currently interested in re-signing Neymar with Real Madrid his most likely destination if PSG agree to sell.
