But the 27 years old Brazilian attracted more controversies when he later expressed his desire to return to Barcelona. Lionel Messi was a friend and teammate whom Neymar confided about his interest in returning to Camp Nou, however, if Messi is optimistic about the transfer in the past, the Barcelona superstar is now singing a different tune, and he shared several details about it.
