Barcelona president, Joan Laporta has come out to say that Paris Saint-Germain duo, Neymar and Lionel Messi’s only chance of returning to Barcelona would be on a free transfer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fact remains that it would make no sense to pay money to bring back players that decided to leave the club and head to France.
Laporta added that Neymar has three years left on his contract with PSG, so he is effectively enslaved to money right back.
His words, “Who doesn’t like Ney?”
“He is an exceptional player, but he has [three] years on his contract with PSG. He is effectively enslaved to money.”
“The only way he could come back to Barca is for free. It would be irrational to pay a transfer fee for a player you have already had.”
“Leo left how he left. We would all have liked him to end his sporting career here, but because of [LaLiga’s] fair play rules and because of PSG’s offer, it was not to be.”
“If he wants to return one day, it would have to be for free. And the technical staff would have to decide if he fits the new project or not.”
