Neymar already regrets moving to Paris Saint-Germain
and is seeking a shock return to Barcelona, according to reports in the Spanish
media on Friday.
In the same week that PSG crashed out of the Champions
League, and only seven months after he joined the club for a world record
222million euros ($264 million, Neymar´s future has become uncertain.
Spanish sports newspaper Mundo Deportivo claims the
Brazilian, recovering from surgery on a broken foot in Brazil, has made contact
with Barca to ask how he can engineer a return.
The
article adds Neymar has explained he made a mistake in leaving the club, was
wrong to want independence from Lionel Messi and has been disappointed by the
standard of opposition in Ligue 1.
Barca,
however, is not the only club Neymar is reportedly targeting as a potential way
out of PSG.
Madrid-based
newspaper AS reports Neymar´s father has met with Real Madrid, who are ready to
pay 400million euros to sign the striker.
Asked
about the speculation on Friday, Real coach Zinedine Zidane said: “Neymar could
play in all the clubs because he is very good, like many players.
“I´m not
going to talk about a player that is not mine. On the 400 million, they paid
220 million and when they bought me they paid 72.
“It seemed
crazy to me and 10 years later they are paying 220 million. It can be that in
the next 10 years someone will pay 400m, or sooner, I do not know.”
