Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi believes the signing of Neymar is very complicated and unlikely to materialise.

Ever since news of the Brazilian’s uneasiness at Paris Saint-Germain surfaced, speculation of a possible return to the Catalan side has risen.

Before the €222 million move to PSG, Neymar had already showed what he could do at Barcelona, playing a pivotal role in their second treble. Xavi believes he has a lot to offer if a potential return comes to fruition. The Spaniard did admit that signing the Brazilian could be very complicated though.

“He would be an incredible signing,” Xavi told Movistar, according to Goal.

“But I see it as being difficult, honestly. I think it’s very difficult.

“We have seen so many things that I thought I’d never see though, such as PSG paying €222 million, so we’ll have to wait.

“There’s no doubt that he’s one of the best players in the world, but let’s see what Barcelona do.”
