Neymar will not be making a shock return to Barcelona, according to Guillem Balague.
The Brazil international left the Nou Camp for in the summer of 2017 but has recently been linked with Ernesto Valverde’s side.
Balague is certain Neymar will not be returning to Barcelona though.
“Barcelona cannot afford Neymar. And that should be the end of the story of that one really,” he told Football Index’s FIVE Things.
“The percentage of wages is sky high in relation to the money that comes in.
“The plan for next season is to go back to a more decent 69 per cent percentage instead of the 83 per cent that they had the previous season.
“With bringing Neymar, that would mean not just his wages, a transfer fee of at least €200m – the kind of money that Barcelona cannot afford.”
Does he deserve another chance at Barcelona?
