Former Barcelona assistant Robert Moreno has no doubt the LaLiga giants want to sign Neymar again.
Neymar, 28, has been linked with a return to Camp Nou, having left for Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record €222million move in 2017.
Moreno, an assistant at Barca while the Brazil international was there, said he knew the LaLiga side wanted Neymar again.
I would re-sign Neymar for Barcelona, the Monaco coach told El Transistor.
In the end, Barcelona have to have the best players in the world and Neymar is one of them, a player who makes the difference.
Furthermore, he makes his team-mates play. I know for sure that they want him.

Moreno took over as Monaco coach in December last year,…
Kyle Walker warned Manchester City s rivals that Pep Guardiola s Premier League champions want to dominate English football.
City celebrated a record-breaking season as they won the Premier League by 19 points ahead of neighbours Manchester United in 2017-18.
It was City s third Premier League title and first since 2014, and full-back Walker revealed Guardiola s team are determined to enjoy prolonged dominance in England after opening their defence with a 2-0 win over Arsenal.
Obviously, he s [Pep] not striving for [just] one title and we re not as well we want more. I don t want to sound big headed, but we want to dominate English football, Walker said.
I think we ve got the players here, and we ve definitely got the manager, to do that, so we need to…
Raphael Varane called on France to rediscover their World Cup-winning form as they prepare to face Belgium in the Nations League semi-final.
Varane won the World Cup in 2018 with Les Bleus but was also part of the disappointment of Euro 2020, which saw France eliminated at the last-16 stage by Switzerland.
France s form in 2021 includes a run of five consecutive draws across all competitions, the first time Les Bleus have gone on such a streak, up until the 2-0 win over Finland in their last outing.
Didier Deschamps side have however remained unbeaten in their first six matches of World Cup 2022 qualification – the first time they have achieved the feat in qualifying matches for a major tournament since 2006.
And Varane implored his country to use t…
Bruno Fernandes believes winning the Europa League will stand Manchester United in good stead to challenge for the Premier League title next season.
Fernandes scored from the penalty spot in extra time as United edged past Copenhagen 1-0 earlier this week to set up a Europa League semi-final with Sevilla on Sunday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s United have already fallen at the semi-final stage in the EFL Cup and FA Cup this season, but January signing Fernandes is keen to put that right following his side s third-placed finish in the Premier League.
I think it s so important to win because every player needs to understand how it is to win a trophy for Manchester United, Fernandes is quoted as saying by several British newspapers.
For the coach, it will be imp…
Manchester City reiterated their belief that there is an organised and clear attempt to damage the club s reputation after allegations were made claiming they gave Jadon Sancho s agent a contract to work as a scout to cover up a payment for his move from Watford.
German publication Der Spiegel claims to have seen documents from whistleblowers Football Leaks that show City paid Emeka Obasi £200,000 as part of the scouting contract to find players in south and central America.
Der Spiegel alleged this payment was actually in relation to Sancho s move from Watford as a 14-year-old to circumvent FIFA rules that prevent agent fees being made in transfers involving minors.
It has also claimed to have seen an e-mail sent to Sancho s father outlining what salary and b…
Bruno Guimaraes feels at home with Newcastle United despite reports of interest from European champions Real Madrid.
Guimaraes was Newcastle s flagship signing in January 2022 in their first transfer window following the takeover by Saudi Arabia s Public Investment Fund.
The Brazil international had a huge impact and has impressed again this season in a team battling for Champions League qualification, having also reached the EFL Cup final.
This form is said to have caught the attention of LaLiga giants Madrid, but Guimaraes appears committed to Newcastle.
The ex-Lyon midfielder accepted the North East Football Writers Association Player of the Year award on Sunday before posting on social media.
When I said yes to Newcastle, I was sure I was cho…
Competition: Austrian Bundesliga
Market: Goal to be scored in both halves
Odds: 8/13 @
With the 2022/23 Austrian Bundesliga campaign getting underway on Friday night, defending champions Salzburg will welcome Austria Vienna to the Red Bull Arena.
Starting with the hosts, storming their way to another Bundesliga trophy with relative ease last season, it is no secret that many are tipping Salzburg as a runaway pick to defend their crown this time around. Picking up some perfect momentum last week as they claimed a thumping 3-0 win against lower-league Fugen while on OFB Cup duties, Head Coach Matthias Jaissle will be calling on his side to lay down another marker here. Bouncing back from their back-to-back 2-1 friendly losses against Antwerp and Feyenoord…
Kevin De Bruyne was already looking towards another title tussle with Liverpool after Manchester City won at Wolves, adding that team glory ranks above his personal exploits despite a standout performance.
City won the Premier League in 2017-18 and 2018-19, holding off the Reds down the home stretch in the latter season, but then relinquished their crown to Jurgen Klopp s team last term.
Liverpool registered six points from the opening two matches of their title defence before Pep Guardiola s men even took to the field, with City making a late start due to their involvement in the Champions League in August.
However, De Bruyne broke the deadlock at Wolves on Monday, had a hand in Phil Foden s second and then, after Raul Jimenez halved the deficit, supplied an ass…
Mauricio Pochettino does not believe Kylian Mbappe had a big say in his sacking and maintains he did a good job at Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG parted company with the Argentine coach in July, just 18 months after appointing him as head coach, naming Christophe Galtier as his replacement.
The former Tottenham boss won the Ligue 1 title last season, the Coupe de France in 2021 and the Trophee des Champions during his short reign.
Pochettino was unable to mastermind a first Champions League triumph for the Parisian giants, though, as they were knocked out by Real Madrid after squandering a two-goal lead in the last-16 stage.
There has been talk of Mbappe perhaps having increased power at PSG after he snubbed Madrid to sign a new contract, but Pochettino d…
Lucy Bronze feels England s desire to win the Women s World Cup is greater than any of the teams remaining in France due to their recent semi-final defeats.
The Lionesses meet the United States in Lyon on Tuesday hoping to go one step further than they did at the 2015 World Cup and at the 2017 European Championship.
Four years ago a surprise run to the semi-finals was ended in cruel fashion when Laura Bassett scored a stoppage-time own goal to send Japan through, while there was more heartbreak two years later in a 3-0 loss to Euros hosts Netherlands.
Phil Neville may have replaced Mark Sampson at the helm but Bronze and many of her team-mates were part of those defeats.
We re short of that last step, the right-back told a pre-match news conference.
