Barcelona Presidential Candidate Makes Outlandish Claim that Neymar Today is ‘Not Even Among the 30 Best Players in Europe’ | OneFootball

FC Barcelona is set to soon hold an election to decide its next club president. Now-former Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu recently departed on controversial terms, so board officials are is already eyeing on who will be the one to lead the club into its next era.

Numerous candidates have already thrown in their hat into seeking to become Barcelona’s next club president, including former club executive Toni Freixa. Among the several topics that Freixa and several other candidates have already discussed is the possible return of Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar to Barca. Freixa is among those that have ruled out such a return but even took it a step further when speaking on the Brazilian forward to Cadena SER (via Marca).

“Neymar, because of his performance, is not even among the 30 best players in Europe right now,” Freixa said. “If I were president, I would not sign him”

Everyone is surely entitled to their own opinion when it comes to discussing world football. But it would be interesting to hear on the 30 players that Freixa would have above Neymar in such a list.

Nonetheless, if Freixa goes on to win the upcoming Barca election, PSG will not have to worry anymore about Neymar possibly returning to the Catalan club.
