Javier Mascherano wants to see Neymar reunite with Barcelona pair Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Former Barcelona star Javier Mascherano hopes Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar returns to the LaLiga champions to play alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez.
Neymar regularly linked with Barcelona return since leaving for PSG
Neymar swapped Barça for PSG in a world-record 222-million-euro transfer in 2017 but the Brazilian superstar has been regularly linked with a Camp Nou comeback.
The 28-year-old forward spent four years at Barça, where he won two LaLiga titles and the Champions League among other honours.
Mascherano longs for “impressive” Neymar, Messi and Suárez to be reunited
Mascherano was team-mates with Neymar when Barça claimed the 2014-15 Champions League trophy via a 3-1 win over Juventus in Berlin and the ex-Argentina captain reflected on that successful night at Olympiastadion.
“The other day, I watched the final in Berlin again and what the three up front created was impressive, Neymar, Suárez and Messi,” Mascherano told RAC1.
“Each of them had a position in the team, the pressure after losing the ball and control.
“They added a lethal edge to our play. I hope Ney returns to Barcelona and they play together. It would be so nice for the club and the fans.”
