Rivaldo: Neymar 'Made a Mistake' Leaving Barcelona to Join PSG

Barcelona and Brazil legend Rivaldo believes his compatriot Neymar made a mistake by leaving the Camp Nou to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.

Per Onda Cero (h/t Football Espana), the 46-year-old said he would like to see Neymar back in Spain, even if it is at Real Madrid:

"Neymar made a mistake to leave, he must realise this. I would like to see him return to Barcelona and if not to the Camp Nou, for the good of Spanish football I would want to see Real Madrid try to sign him."

PSG paid a world-record £200 million fee to sign Neymar following his hugely successful four-year spell at Barca.
