Neymar had shocked the footballing world after deciding to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, and play for the cash-rich Saudi Pro League franchise, declining offers from mainstream giant teams from Europe. He was not the only person to do so, as Cristiano Ronaldo also chose to play in this cash-rich league, along the same timeline.

Is Neymar making a Barca comeback?

However, latest reports claim the Neymar is desperately trying to make a comeback to Nou Camp and join Barcelona, and is willing to do so at any cost. There are no solid reasons as to why the Brazilian forward would choose to do so, but there is a high possibility that Barcelona and Neymar could reunite once again.

Will Neymar be able to fit in?

If we go buy the Barcelona's recent player transfers and buys after the Euro Cup 2024, there are chances that Neymar may not fit into the cream layer of the team, as it is comprised of a much younger lineup, which could be a problem, as the Brazilian has played in some important forward positions for the team during his Barca heydays.


If Neymar does make a comeback to the squad, there would indeed be a strategy and shuffling problem, but looking at his vast experience, Barca manager would indeed try to find a suitable place for him in the lineup.

Injury could create issues

Neymar has over the years been injury prone, and has missed more matches as a forward, like any other. Therefore, fitness should be his key, if he looking at desperately making a comeback to Nou Camp, with a much younger squad playing alongside him.
