In an interview with journalist Gerard Romero, Xavi praised Neymar, but said that the club has other priorities at the moment.
“For me it is a surprise that this is being said. In theory, Neymar is not in my plans. He is a great player, I like him a lot, but we have other priorities. The president and the rest of the board are in charge. We are clear about the scenarios, plans 1, 2 and 3. I am optimistic and I believe we are going to make a good market”, he commented.
Neymar began his journey in Europe wearing the Barça shirt and it was with the Catalan team that the Brazilian lived his best years on the old continent. From 2013 to 2017, Neymar played 186 games wearing the blue and red shirt and won a total of eight titles, with emphasis on the 2014-15 Champions League and the second La Liga championship in 2014-15 and 2015-16.
