Neymar's three-word message to Barcelona players over transfer interest

Neymar has made no secret of his desire to return to Barcelona this summer - and has reportedly told his former team-mates of his confidence that the move will materialise.

The wantaway Paris Saint-Germain star has kept in touch with close pals Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez since quitting the Nou Camp.

Neymar wants to part ways with PSG ahead of next season and it is understood that his former Spanish club are leading the race to secure his services.

The Brazilian superstar is still in a WhatsApp group with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez - called 'The three sudacas' - with the trio having formed a deadly partnership during their time together.

And Spanish daily Sport has claimed that Neymar is convinced that he will seal his dream return to the Nou Camp, and has made that clear to his pals at Barca.

It has been reported that Neymar has even messaged current Barcelona stars and said: "Relax, I'll come."

PSG are prepared to sell striker Neymar, French media reports claimed, as chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi warned that irresponsible behaviour from players won't be tolerated anymore.

Brazil international Neymar joined the Ligue 1 side from Barcelona for a world record £200million in August 2017.

However, he missed large parts of the 2018-19 campaign through injury and suspension and made just 17 league appearances, scoring 15 goals.

His two years in Paris has also been overshadowed by his antics off the pitch and PSG will consider selling the 27-year-old in the forthcoming transfer window if they receive a substantial offer.

The Brazilian earned hero status in Barcelona during four seasons with the European heavyweights.

The former Brazil captain won two La Liga titles and a Champions League triumphs during his spell with Barca, and would no doubt bolster their attacking ranks ahead of the new campaign.
