"One theory that has emerged this week is that Barcelona were never particularly serious about re-signing Neymar this summer, already knowing that the finances would make it almost impossible. Their subsequent pursuit, then, has been billed as a more of a charade aimed at appeasing the likes of Lionel Messi and other senior players within the dressing room."

"Neymar is said to have cried when he heard Barca weren't interested..."

I bloody bet he did!

Lol, I thought it sounded fishy, to spend so much money on such an average player is just plain bonkers.
