Neymar wanted return & Fati sale talk is 'lies', says Barcelona president Laporta

The Blaugrana supremo admits that efforts were made to return a Brazilian superstar to Camp Nou, while a hot prospect will not be sold

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has admitted that efforts were made to take Neymar back to Camp Nou when he returned to office in Catalunya, with the Paris Saint-Germain forward making it clear that he "wanted to come".

Ever since the Brazil international left La Liga giants for Ligue 1 heavyweights as part of a record-breaking €222 million (£195m/$240m) transfer package in 2017, a return to Spanish soil has been speculated on.
