Paris, May 4: Neymar seems eager for a return to Barcelona – and he is reportedly prepared to show just how keen he is.
The Brazil international has been linked with a return to Camp Nou, where he left for Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record €222million move in 2017.
But amid doubts over whether Barca could get a deal done, it seems Neymar is ready to make a huge sacrifice.
