It's not because of money, the reason why Barcelona said no to Neymar Jr has been revealed

The behavior of FC Barcelona with Lionel Messi in recent years has been shameful. In the first place, the captain of the Argentine National Team had to pay the piper for the financial problems of the club in 2021 and had to leave forced to PSG, when his intention was to renew.

Now, two years later, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) wanted to return to Spain free, but Barça didn't want to sign him either. Both situations occurred under the mandate of a Joan Laporta who claimed not to be able to afford the tab, but a few days later he closed the arrivals of Ilkay Gündogan, Íñigo Martínez and Vitor Roque. As if that were not enough, in the last hours it was revealed that the Catalan team also rejected Neymar.

The Brazilian wants to get out of PSG at all costs and his main priority was to return to Barcelona, so much so that he was present at the party celebrating the consecration in La Liga. However, the club closed the door on the possibility of his return and now the newspaper Mundo Deportivo revealed the details of why. Xavi Hernández, who always said that the decision to sign Messi was from Rosario, was the protagonist.

The reasons why Barcelona rejected Neymar

According to the aforementioned media, the club not only saw the transfer as unfeasible in financial terms, but also considered that the footballer who emerged from Santos could become a problem in the locker room. A look that would have been imposed by Xavi and that surprised the fans, since Ney already had a successful time at the club without scandals.
