JUST IN: ‘Neymar wants Barcelona return’

Neymar wants to quit PSG for Barcelona in what would represent a hammer blow for Real Madrid, according to Martin Montoya.

Neymar turned his back on Barcelona for PSG just over a year ago, controversially quitting the Nou Camp in a huge £200million transfer deal.

Ever since that move, however, reports have claimed the 26-year-old regrets his decision to leave for the Parc des Princes.

Real Madrid were heavily linked with a move for Neymar following their bold decision to cut Cristiano Ronaldo loose.

The Portugal international joined Juventus in a £105million deal.

Yet Montoya, who played alongside Neymar at Barcelona, has claimed he would prefer to move to the Nou Camp.

“I don’t know, I think it is difficult to get done,” Montoya told Goal. “Paris is also a great team and I don’t think they will let him to leave easily.

“Paris paid a big amount of money for him and I don’t think Barcelona would pay the same price for him. I think Neymar wants to go back because he was really comfortable and adapted the three years he was at the club.

“He had a great connection with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, but I think it is very difficult for him to come back to Barca.”
