Neymar Jr. has strongly denied rumors of a possible return to FC Barcelona, calling the speculation a "lie" and a "lack of respect" towards him and his current club, Al-Hilal.

In a statement on his social media channels, the Brazilian forward reaffirmed his commitment to the Saudi club, expressing his happiness there and sharing that he will soon be back on the pitch after recovering from the serious knee injury he sustained in October 2023.

These rumors of Neymar's return to Barça surfaced amid the frenzy of the transfer market, with some Brazilian media outlets suggesting that the former PSG star could join Hansi Flick's side for the 2024-25 season. However, Neymar made it clear that his immediate future remains with Al-Hilal, with whom he is still under contract.

Neymar has not played in an official match since suffering an anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus injury in his left leg during a World Cup 2026 qualifier against Uruguay. Despite his long absence, Neymar's name continues to circulate in transfer rumors, though he has made it clear he has no plans to leave Saudi Arabia.

With the transfer window closing soon, rumors and speculation often escalate, but in this case, Neymar has categorically denied any possibility of a return to Barcelona, reaffirming his commitment to Al-Hilal and his desire to continue shining in Saudi football.
