Neymar wanted to leave PSG for Barcelona

Neymar's exit rumors at PSG are nothing new. The Brazilian admitted he wanted to leave the club at one point while speaking in his documentary. He was quoted by the Mirror saying:

"When I made the decision to leave PSG, it wasn't because of a fan or a club. It's because I saw that I felt better elsewhere. I never had anything against the PSG fans, nor against the club itself. It was never that. Contrary. I am very grateful." "

He added:

Even though I didn't want to continue, I had to train and be prepared. Because if I play badly, everyone will blame me: if we lose I'm the first person responsible, I know the burden and the responsibility I have."

Neymar's father also confirmed his son's desire to return to Barcelona and said it did not materialize despite their attempts.

He said:

"He wanted to leave PSG to go back to Barca. I didn't want him to leave PSG, but who do I work for? We tried to leave PSG amicably but it didn't work out."

The Brazilian has scored 100 goals and provided 60 assists in 144 matches for the Parisians so far in all competitions.
