Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's summer is shaping up nicely so far

LaLiga president Javier Tebas does not want Neymar to return

Javier Tebas is not excited by the prospect of Neymar coming back to Spain

Javier Tebas, the LaLiga president, did not mince his words whilst talking about Neymar's potential return to Barcelona. The Brazilian's departure in the summer of 2017 proved to be problematic and his off-the-field conduct at PSG was nothing to write home about either.

Tebas told Onda Cero (radio station),

"I prefer that Neymar does not return to Barca,"

"We always want to bring great players, but in the case of Neymar that behaviour is not good for the competition because in the end the news is if the player has done this or that.

"We have worked a lot in La Liga to maintain the values and we don't want to change the image."
