Ex-Barcelona chief Cury convinced Neymar can make PSG return

Former Barcelona chief Andre Cury can see PSG star Neymar returning to the Nou Camp.

Cury still believes that there is a chance Neymar could return to Barcelona, which could, in turn, lead to Lionel Messi wanting to stay.

"Neymar still has five or six years [left] of a very good career," Cury told Sport.

"Messi would surely stay [at Barcelona] to relive the magical moments they had together.

"That summer [of 2019] we were very close [to bringing Neymar back to Barcelona], but as Griezmann had already signed, [the club] was already up to its neck financially.

"PSG asked us for 150 million [euros], plus the transfer of [Ivan] Rakitic and [Jean-Clair] Todibo and the loan of [Ousmane] Dembele. The only difference is that Barcelona's representatives offered 130 [million euros] instead of 150 [million euros]."
