The Brazilian striker was at one point close to staying in Barcelona.

Last summer, Neimar became the most expensive player in the history of football, moving to PSG for a record 222 million euros.

As reported by Marca, this transaction could not have taken place, had it not been actively participated by the father of the striker.

According to the publication, at one point Neimar was tired of all the surrounding hype and various bureaucratic procedures, so he asked the president of Barcelona Josep Maria Bartomeu to curtail the transaction with PSG, canceling the transfer.

However, his father intervened in the situation, which, as Marca assures, has stolen his son and ended the transition against his will.

Earlier it was reported that Neimar regrets the transfer to PSG.
