The 28-year-old formed a blistering trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Camp Nou but injury setbacks and disciplinary issues have seen him struggle to maintain his brilliance in Ligue 1.
However, Neymar still netted a commendable 19 goals in 27 appearances last term and also provided 12 assists as PSG secured a domestic quadruple and a spot in the Champions League final.
And he has now reiterated his desire to stay with PSG and win the Europe’s elite competition after narrowly losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich at the showpiece in Lisbon.
“I am staying at PSG next season,” Neymar told PSG Le Mag. “I remain and with the ambition to return to the final of the Champions League, this time to win it. I like this idea of doing everything to leave my name in the history books of my club.”
Barcelona have been linked with a move to bring the Brazil international back to the Camp Nou, with Messi, who has expressed his desire to leave the club, unhappy that he hadn’t been re-signed.
With Messi and Suarez potentially leaving, it could cause some hesitation for him going back but he would return as the main man of the attack.
