Former Barcelona superstar’s father counters reports of his son’s departure from PSG

The priority targets for FC Barcelona continuing into this transfer market remain the ones they have been following for quite some time, although new revelations and opportunities continue to arise at various points.

Previously, the capture of Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva had all rumors and reports suggesting it to be the absolute priority at FC Barcelona. However, it seems that the operation seems to be gathering more pessimism as the days go by.

In recent days, the unexpected news of a possible operation concerning PSG forward and former Barcelona hero Neymar Jr has come forward. Moreover, L’Equipe even reported that the player had formally asked PSG that he would like to leave the club.

However, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, this news has left Neymar Da Silva Santos, father of the 31-year-old Neymar Jr, quite frustrated with the news outlet as he claims it is nothing but fake news and makes a direct statement regarding the French news outlet, stating:

“I cannot authenticate news that simply did not occur. L’Equipe being L’Efake…”

Moreover, when questioning the legitimacy and source of such news concerning the former Barcelona winger, his father believes it to have some undetermined intent behind it, stating: “…It (The alleged information) came from somewhere, let’s try to understand the intention.”

Drama and news continue to surround the operation concerning Neymar Jr and possible links to Barcelona, something the Brazilian superstar is not unfamiliar with.

Yet, it could be a possibility that this is the kind of public controversy that continues to make Xavi Hernandez hesitant about bringing the winger back to Catalunya, as various reports have suggested that it is only the Barcelona manager who continues to be reluctant towards the return of the 31-year-old to the Catalan giants.
