Pique Urges Neymar To Break Silence On His Transfer Rumours
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has told Neymar to speak on his transfer speculations if he wants to return to Barcelona.
Having been linked with a return to Barcelona, the football juggler’s switch seems to be in the air after the Blaugrana completed the signing of Atletico Madrid’s wizard, Antoine Griezmann for £108 million.
But the former Santos playmaker is said to be angling for a return to Barcelona, a side that granted him European football experience.
However, the Parc de Princess club are not ready to oust their deadly forward despite his recent misconduct at the club as PSG’s chief executive, Leonardo previously disclosed no concrete approach has been made for the services of the 27-year-old winger.
And Pique wants his former teammate to make a declaration if he delights in rejoining Barcelona.
"I think the operation is very complicated. He is a PSG player.
"I would be delighted to have him here, although it has to be Neymar who manifests. Of course, we talk to him, but it is not appropriate to discuss private conversations.
"It is he who has to go out to talk. He is a star on and off the field.
After demanding Neymar to make a statement on his potential move to the Catalan city, Pique also commended the qualities of newly signed Antoine Griezmann.
"Griezmann is a great player and it's good to have him with us. the centre-back said.
"We hope he adapts well and can help us win games.”
Neymar scored 15 goals in seventeen Ligue 1 games with seven assists while his six Champions League appearances yielded 5 goals in the 2018/19 season for the French giants.
