The Brazilian star took a decision in order not to play with the Argentinian legend.

Since he left FC Barcelona in August 2017, Neymar has always been rumored to go back to the Spanish club. The Brazilian star left for PSG in an all-time transfer record that was closed for more than €222 million. But, Barcelona couldn’t recover a top player like him and his name has always been rumored.

Three years after his departure, Ney is set to stay at PSG. Even though many times it was said that he wanted to go back to Barça, things have changed now. The Brazilian star has started talks with sport advisers from the French club as his intention is to renew his actual contract and to stay at the club.


Lionel Messi is an old friend of Neymar, as they passed a very good time at Barcelona. Nevertheless, Neymar seems to be comfortable at PSG now and won’t leave. His contract remains until June 2022 but the club is already working on his renewal. For now, his value for specialized website Transfermarkt is €130 million.


Messi doesn’t yet know what he is going to do in his future. He tried to leave Barcelona during the last transfer window but president Josep María Bartomeu closed him the exit door. But after his departure, he may be thinking on leaving once forever next year and, maybe, playing once again with his pal Neymar.
