Barcelona midfielder Carles Alena insists that the players at Camp Nou want Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar to return.

Barcelona midfielder Carles Alena has said that "of course" the players at Camp Nou want Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar to return to the Spanish champions.

Neymar, 26, scored 105 goals in 186 appearances for Barcelona between 2013 and 2017 before completing a world-record move to PSG in the summer of 2017.

The Brazilian has netted 46 times in 46 appearances for PSG since his arrival, but suggestions that the attacker is unsettled in France have gathered pace in recent months.

Indeed, Neymar is said to be 'pushing for a return to Camp Nou', having regretted the decision to leave.

Alena has branded Neymar "one of the best players in the world", and has insisted that the club's squad members are in favour of the Brazil international moving back to Spain.

"He is one of the best players in the world, this club would always have their doors open to that type of player," Alena told Esports Cope. "Of course, we would want him to return to the club, he would improve our team, our results and the players."

Neymar has scored 13 times and registered seven assists in 16 appearances for PSG this season.
