According to journalist Joan Fontes, Neymar Jr would do anything to return to Barcelona. His return would depend on the media impact linked to the supposed departure of Gundogan.

Neymar Jr’s potential return to FC Barcelona is the topic that has Barcelona fans talking the most on social media in recent days. Currently in rehabilitation after a serious knee injury, the 31-year-old Brazilian forward plays for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
However, his adventure at Paris Saint-Germain, where he joined the Parisian club in 2017 for the record sum of 222 million euros, did not go as planned. After six mixed seasons in Paris, Neymar decided to try a new experience away from France. Unfortunately for him, his first months at Al-Hilal were marked by numerous injuries.
Barça’s need to sign a world-class left winger and Neymar’s supposed desire to leave Saudi Arabia have Barcelona fans dreaming. On social media, many messages are calling for the return of the Brazilian prodigy, whose years at the Camp Nou remain in the memories.

However, a return for Neymar is in jeopardy for several reasons. First, Al-Hilal paid nearly €100 million for his transfer and will not let their star player leave for less. Furthermore, Neymar is on a staggering annual salary of €100 million in Riyadh, which Barça cannot afford given their current finances.
