Neymar: "What I want most is to play with Messi again"

Neymar

reopened the box of thunder.

The PSG star, after his great performance on Wednesday at Old Trafford (1-3), dropped a whole bomb: next year he wants to meet again with

, with whom he already shared a dressing room at Barça between 2013 and 2017 «What I want most is to play with Messi again, to enjoy with him again on the field.

Next year, sure, we have to do it, "he told ESPN.

Neymar is apparently ready to do anything to have the Argentine by his side again.

"I do not care, I would put him in my place, if necessary I go out," he commented between laughter when asked where the '10' Barça player could play.

After a turbulent last summer, in which Messi expressed his willingness to unilaterally break his commitment and stayed almost reluctantly at the club then ruled by

, his future is once again in the spotlight.

PSG, of course, has enough economic muscle to sign him.

Above all, if he arrives with the freedom letter under his arm, although the Argentine, apparently, seemed more inclined to return to work with a

who was able to get his maximum performance at the Camp Nou and who renewed a few weeks ago with Manchester City.

In Paris until 2022

The 'citizen' set, precisely, is not doing badly economically either.

For this reason, another possibility would be for him to go for a Neymar who, for the moment, is reluctant to renew in Paris a contract that expires in 2022. His hypothetical return to Barça, something that he already tried to forge last year, without success , It seems extremely complicated, due to the delicate situation of the box.

The elections to the presidency of the Barça entity, which will be held on January 24, however, invite us to predict that his name will be on the scene again.

For now, one of the candidates, former president

, has already addressed the issue.

«His words do not concern me.

I have things to say, but I will not do it so as not to destabilize a team that is going to increase, "he said in statements to Catalunya Ràdio.

«I will not enter this game or give names of players who can come.

It is normal for him to say it, they are friends and have an established hierarchy between them.

It is normal that they have this relationship, but I trust that Leo can wait and listen to the proposal of the new president of Barcelona, ​​"he insisted.

"Other more powerful offers"

For his part, if he is elected, he is willing to do everything possible to keep him going.

We have contact with Leo.

I personally have it.

I appreciate it very much and we respect each other, but we have not talked about the renewal.

I need to have the authority to be president to value it.

Messi is a priority, any club in the world wants to have him.

It guarantees that the team aspires to everything, it makes a difference, "said a Laporta who also stressed that the Argentine is really worth what it costs to maintain him.

“It is very important at a sporting level, but you also have to think about what it produces.

There are always imaginative proposals for him to continue at Barça.

He loves Barça and has shown it many times, but I insist that I need the authority that the president has to know how the club's financial situation is.

Being able to compete with other more powerful offers is complicated, but I don't think it's just a matter of money, "said the former president.
