It was about looking for something new, to find new difficulties"

These were the words of the Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar in an interview with Fox on his reasons for leaving Barcelona.

In 2017, Neymar left Barça for PSG in 2017 in a world record 222 million euro deal, and reveals that it was in his quest for something new and challenging.

He said that he was in love with Barcelona up till date and the decision was not an easy one to make but he always kept in touch with his former teammates there.

Since coming to Paris, the Brazil international has been trailed with several injuries.

He added: "It was really tough. There were moments when I had doubts and I thought about staying. 'I'm not going,' I was saying. I was like that for two weeks before deciding to go to Paris."

Sort:  

But injuries have continued to plague this talented player.

yes it has but we hope it ends sooner than later.

Leaving Barça was one of the greatest mistakes Neymar made but thank goodness he's coming up at PSG after an injury spell.

He just explained the reason he did. I think he got frustrated with walking in the shadows of Messi.

And he even offered his money to go back to the same club he left 2017 but the deal was never sealed with PSG making outrageous demands because they didn't want him to go.

What an irony! But that was then but now it becomes even more difficult with Messi revealing that Neymar would not be so welcomed at Barça after all.

I don't know why Neymar leaving Barcelona for PSG is considered a big fuzz, after all there's nothing out of place for someone to want to try something new or him wanting to return

Exactly, this is much ado about nothing.
