Neymar‘s agent has denied the possibility of the player returning to Barcelona this season.

Neymar’s agent has denied speculation linking him with a move back to Barcelona this season, insisting the Brazilian forward is happy with his career in the Saudi Pro League and is eyeing a return to action soon.

“The idea that Neymar will leave Al-Hilal to return to Barca is a lie,” the 32-year-old’s agent said. “It is also a huge disrespect to Al-Hilal and the player himself.”

“Neymar is under contract with Al-Hilal and he is happy in Riyadh. Soon he will return to the pitch to make the fans happy.”

Neymar’s relationship with Barca has been swirling in recent days, with reports suggesting that the player himself is keen on a return to Camp Nou to work with new manager Hansi Flick, ufabet http://ufabet999.app but the former PSG star’s agent has ruled out the possibility.

Despite moving from Paris Saint-Germain to Al-Hilal in the summer of 2023 for a record fee of 90 million euros, Neymar has only played five matches so far due to a serious knee injury he suffered while on international duty with Brazil in October 2023 and had to rest throughout last season.
