Gerard Pique reveals private talks with Neymar over Barcelona transfer

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has urged Neymar to speak out if he wants to return to the Catalan club. Neymar has been linked with a return to the Nou Camp after his world-record £198million move to Paris Saint-Germain two years ago. "I think he's a great player, he knows the dressing room, the city and the club," the Spain international said, quoted by Spanish daily Sport. "There are people who were dissatisfied with the way he left, but there are many people who were very satisfied with his performances. "It is a complicated operation. He is a PSG player and the squad we have now is important enough to challenge for all titles. If the opportunity arises, you already know the relationship I have with him, and I would be delighted if he returns, but he is a PSG player. Personal opinion does not change anything, Of course, we talk to him. It is also not appropriate to say what we are talking about. If he wants to express himself or give his opinion, he has to do that. He is a 'crack' on and off the pitch and we are waiting for developments. I cannot say more." Two years ago, Pique posted a picture of himself with Neymar on social media alongside the words “Se queda” (He stays). Just over a week later, Neymar joined PSG.
