La Liga president, Javier Tebas has said both Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo are not as important to the Spanish league as Lionel Messi.
He said, despite saying that, he would still like Neymar to come back to Barcelona if the opportunity presents itself.
Neymar has been linked with a move back to Spain after missing PSG’s first three games of the Ligue 1 campaign and Javier buys the idea but has insisted that Messi is the only man the Spainish league must not lose.
His words, “Yes, of course [I’d like Neymar to return]. With his qualities he’s in the top three players in the world. It would be very important for La Liga if he came again, although it wouldn’t be defining for the Spanish league.”
“The defining thing is that we play 10 months a year, with 20 clubs each playing each other and generating passion and joy each weekend for fans in Spain and across the world.
“A player like Neymar gives you a following in countries that look out for him, but he’s not an essential element, not even Cristiano Ronaldo was. Lionel Messi, on the other hand, is an essential element because he’s the heritage of La Liga.”
On Neymar coming back, “If they are interested in signing [Neymar] it’s because they can [afford] it,”
“I’m not going to go there because there are many factors that we don’t know about at the moment.”
