The transfer market in the world of soccer is completely unpredictable season after season. In recent weeks, there has been talk of a topic that has surprised everyone, seeming practically impossible to happen. According to several journalists, there is a possibility that Neymar JR will return to FC Barcelona next summer.
According to SPORT, Barça would have told the Brazilian star that if he regains his level, he could return in the summer. "First score 15 goals with Santos and then we'll consider your signing," would be the words of the club's leadership. This could lead Simeone to opt for the signing of a player he has liked for several years.
The Arrival of Neymar
Although it seems surreal, Neymar is rumored to return to Barcelona, something that could be good news for Diego Pablo Simeone. The arrival of the Brazilian to the blaugrana club would mean they would have to part with one of their forwards. In this situation, without a doubt, the one most likely to leave would be the Spaniard, Ferrán Torres.
The forward, champion of the Euro Cup this summer, is Hansi Flick's ultimate game-changer, but he hasn't established himself as a starter. Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, and Lewandowski are clearly ahead, and Neymar's arrival would pose another problem. Therefore, both he and his club would seek an exit to free up salary space and to find more minutes and prominence.
Simeone Wants Him
Although Neymar's arrival in Barcelona seems almost impossible, if it's being discussed in various media, it might happen. Simeone has been a clear admirer of Ferrán Torres for many years, as he wanted to sign him during his time at Valencia. He has never been able to attempt his signing due to economic reasons, but now he is an older footballer and has devalued in recent years.
That's why Neymar could open a small door for Simeone. Ferrán has been linked to Atlético de Madrid for years, and although it seems complicated, this unlikely scenario could lead him to the rojiblanco club.
