In a 2020 interview with Mundo Deportivo (via Bleacher Report), Lionel Messi had claimed that Neymar Jr. regretted leaving Barcelona. The Brazilian superstar left the Catalan giants to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for a record €222 million transfer fee.

“It bothered me at the time [when Neymar left] and we tried to convince him not to do it. But we all want to win and have the best players around us. He’s one of the best players in the world and he brought a lot to the team," Messi said.

The Argentine legend added:

"He is desperate to return and has always appeared to regret his decision. He did a lot to come back and that would be the first step in making it happen. He was always fine at Barca, performing at a very high level. He’s a different type of player who is difficult to stop one-on-one and score goals.”

Neymar Jr. is often considered to have reached his peak at Barcelona between 2013 and 2017. He notably won the treble with La Blaugrana in the 2014-15 season. In 186 outings for the club, he recorded 105 goals and 76 assists.

Four years after his move to PSG, Lionel Messi joined him at the French side in 2021. The duo left the club in 2023 to join Al-Hilal and Inter Miami, respectively.
