Barcelona President Joan Laporta has long been known for his penchant for making high-profile signings, and there’s a possibility he might pursue a reunion with Neymar Junior in the future.
The Brazilian forward has reportedly expressed his interest in returning to Barcelona to Laporta.
According to Bar Canaletes, Neymar maintains regular communication with Laporta, indicating his desire to rejoin Barcelona once his tenure with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia concludes.
Despite currently recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in September, the 32-year-old’s contract with Al-Hilal expires in the summer of 2025, paving the way for a potential free transfer back to Barcelona at the age of 33.
It’s worth noting that Neymar’s son, Davi Lucca, resides in Barcelona with his mother, which could further incentivize Neymar’s return to the Catalan club.
Additionally, Neymar’s lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia ensures that financial considerations are unlikely to pose a barrier to his potential move.
The timing of his potential return also coincides with the build-up to the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, Canada, and the United States, potentially motivating Neymar to showcase his best form as he eyes one last major international tournament with Brazil.
Looking ahead to next summer, Barcelona may still encounter challenges in attracting marquee signings due to their ongoing economic constraints.
Neymar undoubtedly possesses the talent and star power to reignite excitement among Barcelona’s fanbase.
Nonetheless, questions may arise about building a youthful project around an aging and injury-prone star approaching his mid-thirties, especially considering Neymar’s limited playing time over the past two years.
