Javier Tebas gives his verdict on whether Neymar and Lionel Messi will return to Barcelona

La Liga president Javier Tebas has given his verdict on speculation that Neymar and Lionel Messi could return to Barcelona at some point in the future.

There’s been speculation on and off over the last few years that both players could head back to Catalunya for one ‘Last Dance’ with the Catalan giants.

Tebas has been asked about the possibility of the two stars donning the Blaugrana again and thinks it’s possible Messi could come back but not Neymar.

“I think Messi wants to go back to Barcelona,” he told Give Me Sport. “He spent lots of years there. I am quite sure Messi will come back.

“Maybe as a player, but I can see him returning in another capacity as well. Messi and Barcelona go hand in hand. His brand, and Barcelona’s brand, are in many ways one and the same. He is in love with the club.

“Neymar is a different story. I don’t think he will ever return to Barcelona. I am quite sure of that.”

There seems to be an almost constant swirl of opinions at present about Neymar and Messi and Barcelona.
