Neymar, who perfectly revived from his old team Santos, is aiming to return to Europe.

Spanish media Sport reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'Neymar's agent, Finney Zahavi, is moving for Europe'

FC Barcelona, where Neymar was in his prime, is considered a strong destination. Neymar, who moved to Barcelona from Santos in 2013, established what he called 'MSN' with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, winning two consecutive La Liga titles, the European Champions League, Copadelay, and the Club World Cup.

Neymar, who moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, was left disappointed by his frequent injuries, but continued to serve as the striker's axis as he continued his double-digit scoring record.

The problem was after moving to Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal.

Neymar accepted Al Hilal's offer for a huge sum of 100 million euros in transfer fees and 150 million euros in annual salary in the summer of 2023. However, he played only four games due to injuries for more than two years until January. Al Hilal failed to even collect the transfer fee due to the termination of the contract by mutual agreement in the process of Neymar's decision to return to Santos.

After his return to Santos, Neymar is looking different from his Al Hilal days. He has played in seven games and has shown off his rusty skills with three goals and three assists. Interest in Neymar's future, who signed a short-term contract with Santos until June, is naturally rising.

Sport says 'Zahavi is close to Barcelona President Juan Laporta. Barcelona, who finished, said they needed to reinforce the left winger', adding that although Barcelona's financial situation is a stumbling block, Neymar is reportedly willing to accept the conditions to increase his chances of returning to Europe'

Bayern Munich has been considered one of the teams aiming for Neymar. However, Sport added more weight to his trip to Barcelona, saying that Munich is not planning a power overhaul after this season, and at this point interest in Neymar does not appear to be significant.
