Barcelona president Bartomeu won't rule out Neymar return

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu won't rule out bringing PSG star Neymar back to the club this summer.

Barca chiefs have confirmed they made at least two attempts to buy back Neymar last year.

Speaking at the Círculo Ecuestre, Bartomeu declared: "You never know with Neymar, but there is nothing planned."

The president also insisted the decision of Neymar to launch fresh legal action over money allegedly owed won't influence their transfer plans.

"We have become accustomed to the Neymar issue, we await rulings," he added.

Bartomeu also admits he's unaware of the football department's plans for Philippe Coutinho, currently on-loan with Bayern Munich.

"They haven't told me anything about 'Cou'," he said.
