Barcelona sports director Deco spoke about the future of Al-Hilal striker Neymar. Soon, the 32-year-old player may return to Brazilian Santos, where he started his career.

Journalists asked Deco if Barcelona had the opportunity to bring the star forward back to Catalonia.

“Talks about Neymar returning to Barcelona have always been far-fetched. We know that since he moved to Saudi Arabia, he is a very expensive player.

Neymar is one of the strongest footballers in the world when he is fit. He would be welcome in any club. Nothing can be ruled out, but I think he will return to Brazil now.

Most importantly, he needs to play football again. It will bring joy to him and others. I don’t know what his plans are, but the most important thing is for him to be happy,” he says Barca Universal Deku’s words.

It was previously reported that Santos plans to announce the transfer of Neymar by the end of January.
