Barcelona spokesman Josep Vives wanted to avoid falling into a "trap" by discussing a possible return to the club for Neymar amid reports he could be in line for a return to the club.
Neymar, 27, has been linked with a return to La Liga for much of the last two years since making a world-record €222 million switch to Paris Saint-Germain.
Howevery eyebrows were raised when PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi claimed on Monday nobody made Neymar join the club and seemed to indicate the Brazil star would not be kept if he was not fully committed to the Ligue 1 champions.
