Here's what Neymar's dad said about the winger's return to Barcelona

Neymar's dad has reportedly shut down all speculation about his son re-joining Barcelona next summer.

The Brazilian forward tried forcing his way out of Paris Saint Germain few months back but the deal failed to sail.

PSG were said to have reached a point they had agreed to sell the winger only if they received right offers from the Spanish suitors.

However, SunSport reports that the £108 million splashed on Antoine Griezmann crushed Barca's purse as they could not come up with the funds to re-sign their former star.

Reports from the La Liga side quoted to Gerard Pique claimed the team would take pay cuts to ensure the return the superstar.

Neymar Santos Senior, who is the current agent of the player claimed that a deal is dead.

When asked whether he'll return to Spain to pursue talks, he replied: "This is not the case. I'm in Brazil and stay here."

In spite of his slow start to the 2019-20 season, Neymar has netted four times in five Ligue 1 appearances for the Parisians as they occupy the top position on the table.

Although, his reign in France has been heavily crippled by injuries and several other off the pitch activities.

Neymar last featured in any competition since Brazil came from one goal down to force Nigeria to 1-1 draw in Singapore last month after picking up a hamstring injury in the early minutes of the encounter.
