On every given opportunity, Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has talked about wanting Neymar back at Nou Camp.
But the Brazilian’s agent, Wagner Ribeiro, has said Neymar may not move to FC Barcelona from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this summer.
The Argentinean has said that Barcelona cannot win the Champions League with the current side and that is one of the primary reasons why Messi has been desperate to have Neymar back to the Catalan side.
While it has been understood that despite suffering from the financial crisis, Barcelona have been trying to clear funds for Neymar's transfer, the forward’s agent has claimed that his client may not leave PSG this summer.
“I think Neymar will stay at PSG because the market is difficult. The economic world of football will change,” added Ribeiro in a recent interview, as per Daily Star.
To show how badly Neymar wanted to get out of Paris, the 28-year-old playmaker reportedly had agreed to accept a pay cut at Barcelona.
