Former Barcelona star Neymar is reportedly reigniting talks of possible reunion with Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp.

Neymar, Messi and Luis Suarez recently posed for a photo that got the soccer world thrilled. In his social media account, Neymar gave his fans a treat after posting a photo which seemed to tease about a possible reunion with Messi at Barcelona.

The “MSN” trio was at the Uruguayan target-man's glitzy party to celebrate his 10-year anniversary with wife Sofia Balbi. All of a sudden, Neymar decided to snap a photo the three of them and shared it on his Instagram story. It didn’t take long for talks of possible return to Barcelona resurface after the said photo went live online.

A few years ago, the fearsome attacking trio once conquered the competition and was widely regarded as a ruthless force in La Liga. Between 2014-15 and 2016-17 seasons, the trio scored 364 goals in 450 games and won two league titles including the Champions League.

However, the spectacular team-up came to an end when Neymar decided to leave Nou Camp in 2017 for a world-record transfer fee of £198million. The Brazilian forward moved to French giants Paris Saint-Germain but has always been linked to a Spain return.

Roughly three months ago, Neymar was reportedly pursuing a return to Barcelona but reports emerged that Barca decided to back out of a deal.

It was also noted that Neymar was willing to pay €20m of his own money towards his transfer fee as he was so desperate to leave PSG.

After numerous rumors and talks about a possible move to Barcelona, Neymar ended up staying with PSG and made one of the most embarrassing returns to the said club.

Coming off the controversies, Neymar returned to PSG to face Strasbourg . But moments before the game started, Neymar’s name was booed when he was announced for the starting lineup.

After the game, Neymar stated that he doesn’t want to dwell on the matter and he is ready to move on. According to the Brazilian star, he will still give his best in every game for PSG despite all the hatred from fans.

"Everyone knew that I wanted to leave. I said it and I repeated it. I do not want to go into details. The page is turned. I am a PSG player and now I am going to give everything on the pitch,” Neymar stated.
