Arthur: 'I am praying for Neymar to come back to Barcelona'

PSG forward has been linked with a return to Barcelona this autumn as he is reportedly unhappy in Paris and has realised that his move to Ligue 1 in 2017 was a mistake. Barcelona haven't refuted the rumours but it is understood that the transfer is extremely difficult to orchestrate. 

"I am praying for him to come back because he's a great player," Arthur told Mundo Deportivo. "He makes the team better. I don't know if there are negotiations or options for him to come back however."

"Neymar is a great friend of mine and he's a professional. I would be very happy if he came back to Barca," the midfielder added.

However, the Catalans are likely to be closely following the recent developments in PSG's Financial Fair Play case. It has been reported by Mediapart on Monday, that the French champions are forced to sell one of their main stars in order to recoup 170 million euros to sort out their accounts.
