Hristo Stoichkov Says Neymar Barcelona Return Would Be 'A Bomb' in Locker Room

Former Barcelona forward Hristo Stoichkov has cautioned the club against bringing Neymar back from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Catalan giants are in talks with PSG regarding Neymar, two years after the French club bought him in a world-record €222 million deal.

Stoichkov told Univision (h/t Goal's Chris Burton):

"Barcelona does not need Neymar.

"He has no place because there are already important players. There is [Ousmane] Dembele, [Antoine] Griezmann, [Luis] Suarez and [Lionel] Messi.

"Where is he going to play? He would be a bomb inside the locker room.
