Neymar to Return to Barcelona?
Brazil international Neymar is keen on leaving Paris Saint-Germain after realizing that he has made a mistake in leaving Spain. The winger has been keenly eyed by Real Madrid since a long time whereas former recruits Barcelona could be on for a reunion with the 26-year-old as well.
Ousmane Dembele has been on target just five times this season for Barcelona and scored some very important goals, his latest one being against the Atletico Madrid in the last weekend. However, his unprofessional conduct has seen him getting left out of the squad.

Following some quarrels and possibly following out with Ernesto Valverde, Ousmane Dembele has reportedly asked to leave the club by the end of the season. With that said, Barcelona is looking to seize the opportunity and use him in getting back Neymar to the squad.
Sources have been claiming that Neymar could land into Barcelona in a supposed swap deal that will see Ousmane Dembele go to PSG, thereby reducing the club’s financial expense on re-signing the former Santos forward.
While Barcelona could be set for a benefit, the rumor comes as a blow to the ambitions of Arsenal and Liverpool as both the clubs were plotting their moves for Dembele. There was no contract situation about the interest, but the English clubs did show their interest in the Barcelona star.

Neymar’s arrival could see the former Liverpool forward’s Barcelona career get hampered or leave Arthur Melo on the bench and thus allowing Coutinho to play the left midfielder’s role. The fact that Barcelona will be heavily stripped whilst paying wages is another issue.
