Neymar, the father of Brazilian star Neymar, said that negotiations between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are still going on for his son to return to the Catalan club, despite the failure to complete the deal before closing the summer transfer window on the second of this month.
Barcelona have struggled this summer to meet Neymar's desire to return to the Camp Nou, which he left in 2017 to move to the French capital in a record deal of 222 million euros, but failed to reach an agreement with the management of SG.
"My son only wants to play in Barcelona," Santos told reporters on the sidelines of his participation in a sports exhibition in Scotland. "Neymar wants to be only where he feels happy. He was happy in Barcelona." .
The Brazilian star did not play in any of the games of the season, first because of injury, and then because of his public desire to leave the team, while the coach of the Parisian club Thomas Tokel confirmed that he will not name Neymar in the squad until the future of the 27 Years. Neymar revealed the father that his son is sad because he did not get what he wants to return to Barcelona.
However, Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomio revealed a few days ago that the Brazilian star "did everything" to return to his former team, pointing in an interview with the Catalan club channel "at the moment Neymar is unlikely. "In January we will talk about this."
The French newspaper L'Equipe said Neymar was willing to pay 20 million euros out of his own pocket to help complete the deal, but the Germans prevented the transfer.
Neymar has scored 51 goals in 58 appearances for PSG over two seasons, and despite his domestic success, he has failed to reach the Champions League, with frequent injuries to his metatarsal. Despite being sidelined, he was recalled to the Brazil squad and played friendly against Colombia and Peru on Sunday.

The former women's partner has been charged for revealing material with interesting content. Police closed the investigation into Neymar in late July and decided not to recommend that he be put on trial.
The model accused Neymar of raping her in a Paris hotel on May 15 last year.
