It has been about six and a half years since Neymar left Barcelona in order to make a lucrative move to Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar would go on to play for the French club.
Even though the Brazilian has continued to cause fans all around the world to feel conflicted, he continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Barcelona supporters.
Neymar’s time at Barcelona has come to an end, and he is now competing for Al Hilal. His season at Barcelona is officially ended. Nevertheless, it would appear that Barcelona holds a unique and significant place in Neymar’s heart as well.
The passion that Neymar has for Barcelona is well known.
Neymar has recently acknowledged that he has been missing Barcelona in a conversation that took place. As he thought on his time spent in Paris, he made the suggestion that he had to go through “hell” in France.
In Paris, Lionel Messi and I went through a lot of terrible things. We had a great deal of longing for Barcelona,” Neymar added (source: Instant Foot).
There were a total of 173 matches that Neymar participated in throughout his six years at Paris Saint-Germain. The forward, on the other hand, was not one of the fan favorites because he had been dealing with a string of ailments as of late.

Neymar, along with Lionel Messi, was despised by a sizeable portion of the Paris Saint-Germain supporters during the course of his latter phase of his tenure at the club.
When Neymar was in Saudi Arabia, thus far
Over the summer, Neymar became a member of Al-Hilal. At a cost of ninety million euros, he became a member of the Saudi Arabian club.
Neymar has only played in five matches during his time at Al-Hilal, which is six months into his tenure there. Additionally, he has sustained injuries during his time spent in Saudi Arabia.
A tear in the cruciate ligament is currently affecting the Brazilian player, and it is highly doubtful that he will return to action until April.
A possible return to Barcelona in the summer was a topic that was frequently discussed in relation to Neymar. On the other hand, the club had no interest in re-signing the Brazilian player, nor did they have the financial means to pay for the player themselves.
