Barcelona‘s players are upset with the club’s attempts to set up a swap deal for PSG star Neymar.
Marca says the majority of the squad, especially the senior players, were very much in favour of the possible return of Neymar.
The prospect of reuniting the MSN trident – which consisted of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar – was a tantalising one and excited almost everyone, so the players asked president Josep Maria Bartomeu and the board to do everything they could to re-sign Neymar.
The players’ feeling was that the club weren’t really interested in re-signing the Brazilian and some of them saw their offers as a way of keeping them happy.
Ivan Rakitic wasn’t impressed with the way that the club tried to use him as part of a deal to sign Neymar, whilst also being frustrated with coach Ernesto Valverde for leaving him out of the starting line-up in the opening weeks of the season, despite the fact that he’s fully committed and wants to stay at the Camp Nou.
