Pini Zahavi Begins Concrete Talks with Laporta on Neymar's Return to Barcelona

This winter, the legendary Brazilian Neymar returned to his hometown club Santos, but he does not plan to stay in Brazil for long.

Details: According to the reputable insider David Ornstein, the likelihood of Neymar's return to Barcelona has increased.

Neymar's agent, Pini Zahavi, is in very good terms with Barcelona president Joan Laporta, and they have recently started to concretely discuss Neymar's return.

Neymar's contract with Santos is only valid until the summer of this year, and the player's main goal is to participate in the 2026 World Cup with the Brazilian national team. He believes that a return to Barcelona could ideally facilitate this.

However, it is known that Barcelona's coaching staff, led by Hansi Flick, is against Neymar's return.

Neymar played for Barcelona from 2013 to 2017 before moving to PSG for 222 million euros, which is still a record transfer in football history. During his time with the Catalans, he scored 105 goals and provided 76 assists in 186 matches.

Reminder: Previously, the president of Santos stated that Neymar might stay at the club until the summer of 2026.
