There could be a huge big deal in the upcoming summer transfer market.
Reporter David Onstein, who works for The Athletic in the UK and boasts the highest public confidence in the transfer market, had a time to ask and answer fans on the 27th (Korea time). One fan commented "Is there a striker we must pay attention to in the summer transfer market?When asked ," the Onstein reporter surprisingly referred to Neymar.
He would be Neymar if he stressed "one. Neymar, who returned to Santos from Al Hilal, signed a short-term contract. Neymar will become a free agent on June 30 if an extension is not signed. In addition, I heard that there is a clause that says that if you can move to a team participating in the Club World Cup, you can leave sooner"Neymar soon became a free man," he said.
If Neymar's contract ends on June 30, Neymar is already free to have conversations with other teams. This is because of the Boseman rule, which applies to players under six months of contract expiration. Surprisingly, one of the teams was Barcelona.
Reporter Onstein "It all depends on Neymar's physical and technical condition. Early signs look good, but we'll look at how Neymar plays in the coming weeks and months. The surprising situation currently under consideration is the return to Barcelona. No decision has been made yet, but I heard that discussions between Barcelona and Neymar are underway."
Neymar is a legend of Barcelona love and hatred. Barcelona invested 88 million euros (about 133.6 billion won) to recruit Neymar, who established himself as the world's top prospect from Santos in 2013. Barcelona's bold choice was not wrong.
Neymar moved to Barcelona and worked with Lionel Messi, and the two players had a great chemistry. The combination of world-class striker Luis Suarez gave birth to the best triangle formation in football history.

In the 2014-2015 season, when the three players worked together, Barcelona became the first historic team in football history to achieve the treble twice. The destructive power of the so-called MSN line leading to Neymar-Suarez-Messi was beyond imagination. Neymar's skills have been among the best in the world since the 2014-2015 season.
Neymar, who grew up as a Ballon d'Or-class player in Barcelona, looked like he would remain Barcelona's legend going forward. However, ahead of the 2017-2018 season, the most shocking transfer in football history occurred. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) recruited Neymar by paying 222 million euros (about 337 billion won), Neymar's buyout clause.
It came as a shock to fans that Neymar also wanted to leave Barcelona. Neymar decided to move to PSG to become the main character because he didn't want to be the second-in-command forever behind Messi. Barcelona fans felt tremendously betrayed by Neymar.
Neymar then went to PSG and his career began to get twisted. He was great, but he suffered injuries every season. In the shortened season due to COVID-19, it led PSG to the UEFA Champions League (UCL) final, but it collapsed to Bayern Munich.
Neymar was determined to leave PSG and pushed for a move to Barcelona. But Barcelona, which had been in financial meltdown, could not bring Neymar back. In the end, Neymar surprisingly headed to Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal in the summer of 2023, unable to withstand the temptation of money.
He was treated astronomically when he moved to Al Hilal, but he became the worst muktu in football history. Neymar was unable to play properly after suffering a cruciate ligament rupture. Nor was Neymar willing to play hard. In the end, Neymar only had the worst record of one goal and three assists in seven games in a year and a half.
Al Hilal was furious with Neymar and terminated his contract. Neymar returned to his old home Santos instead of returning to Europe. As soon as he moved to Santos, Neymar is still showing his skills with two goals and three assists in six games. Neymar wants to recover his performance at Santos and return to Barcelona.
Onstein said, `Barcelona President Juan Laporta and Neymar agent Finney Zahavi have a close relationship. Zahavi also seems to be taking care of Flick Barcelona. Neymar's biggest motivation will be the 2026 World Cup, and playing for Barcelona in the rebuilt Camp Nou is a fairytale story. However, a lot needs to happen in order for Neymar's return to Barcelona to materialize. But it's a possible story." He made his fans look forward to it.
