'RAC1': Barca travelled to Paris to try and block Neymar's renewal

Right in the middle of the rumours regarding a possible return to Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain announced the official renewal of Neymar, who signed with the French side until the 2024/25 season.

An extension of his PSG contract wouldn't have been very well received in the Camp Nou. 'RAC1' report that Barca met up with the Brazilian star just one month before this renewal, in an attempt to bring him back to the Catalan side.

According to the aforementioned source, Neymar told Barca's representatives who had travelled to Paris that he wanted to return, as he didn't see a future in the Parc des Princes because PSG lack a winning project.

But after his renewal was made official with the Parisians, Barca feel used. The Catalan side feel that the Brazilian international used them to pressure PSG into giving in during contract negotiations.

It's for that reason that Barca's current board, with Joan Laporta at the helm, feel betrayed by Neymar. The Brazilian currently boasts an impressive 15 goals in the 27 matches he has played so far this season, 23 of which have been as a starter.
