According to a recent report from Sport, a series of top Barcelona stars were ready and willing to help pay for Neymar’s return to the club. The Brazilian star was heavily linked with a move back to the Nou Camp over the course of the summer transfer window, but it never quite came to fruition. The report indicates that the players in question feel like Neymar could be the player they need to really kick on in the Champions League, which is a competition they’ve failed to win for a few years now – despite many regarding them as the best club in world football.

Alas, it didn’t quite happen, but that does raise a few questions regarding what could happen during January if they go in for the Paris Saint-Germain star once again. Either way, the desire within the club to see him make his way back into the mix has never been more evident.
