Iniesta doesn't see Neymar at Barcelona again
Neymar is reportedly looking to head back to Barcelona soon but there are way too many obstacles in the way. Paris Saint-Germain are unwilling to sell and the fee will always be a factor.
Andreas Iniesta was asked if he would welcome Neymar back to Camo Nou but he gave a unique answer. “I see it difficult for Neymar to return to Barca, but in football, they have seen a hundred thousand things,” Iniesta said while speaking to RAC1.
“If he came back, I've always said that, for many years now, he is currently one of the best players in the world. And what team would not like to have him? But I cannot visualise him at Barca again,” added the Barcelona legend.
Neymar left Barcelona in 2017 after PSG activated his release clause. The Brazilian has been linked with Real Madrid since then and Los Blancos still remain interested if reports are to be believed.

Juventus eye Jordi Alba
Alex Sandro has signed a new contract at Juventus but they are still keen on signing a left-back. The Serie A side have set sights on Barcelona's Jordi Alba according to SPORT.
The Spaniard is a target for Manchester United as well but a move away from Camp Nou looks unlikely. He is keen on signing a new contract but he hasn't been offered a new deal by the Catalan side.
Barcelona see Alba as an integral part of the first team and have no plans of selling him. The contract situation, however, has put things in a mix as the player wants to sign a new deal as soon as possible but the club are taking their time in offering him a new deal.
