Barcelona have made it very obvious that they want to bring in a star player this summer. However, with Lionel Messi having decided to sign with Inter Miami, the Blaugrana’s transfer plans have been thrown into disarray.
The Argentine had been targeted as a potential acquisition for the La Liga winners because of their desire to add a star player who can make a significant impact on the field. Since the possibility of signing their former captain has gone, they now have the chance to re-sign Neymar, who is expected to also depart Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
The former Barca player and current superstar for the French champions, has reportedly offered his services to his old side as they work on a backup plan for Lionel Messi. According to the Spanish newspaper SPORT, the Brazilian international is eager to return to Catalonia and is even prepared to take a pay cut to do so.
