Hansi Flick speaks out on Neymar’s potential Barcelona return | OneFootball

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick was this evening drawn on the recent speculation linking Neymar Jr. with what would be an altogether surprising return to the club.

The name of attacker Neymar has of course positioned itself front and centre in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over the course of recent weeks.

This comes amid the understanding that the 33-year-old has set his sights firmly on a reunion with Barcelona for next season.

Neymar recently secured a return to Brazil with Santos, with whom he has since enjoyed an altogether productive start to life.

It is claimed that as much is considered something of an audition on the part of the player himself, keen to convince former employers Barca of his readiness to continue contributing at the top level of the game.

During an appearance in front of the media on Tuesday evening, it therefore came as little surprise when Neymar’s name was put to Blaugrana boss Hansi Flick.

The German tactician, however, was keen to shift focus away from the market, and back towards the pitch:

“That’s not my job. I am completely focused on the games. Signings are the job of other positions in the club, not mine.”
