Luis Suárez: Neymar did everything possible to return to Barcelona

Luis Suárez has confirmed what was widely reported: that Neymar was trying to do everything possible to leave Paris Saint-Germain last summer. A return to Barcelona was rumored, but it never came to be.

In an exclusive interview with Fox Sports Radio, the Uruguayan reminisced about the saga that took Neymar to PSG and almost brought him back to the Camp Nou:

“We discussed it at the moment when Ney wanted to leave. Everyone knew it. Lionel Messi and I told him, ‘at the individual level, take the decision you want to. But as a player, as far as a club, and as far as awards, you will always have it at Barcelona.
