"I would have loved Neymar to have rejoined the club," Messi told Sport.

"Honestly, I don't know if Barcelona did everything possible to ensure his return.

"However, it is certainly true that negotiating with PSG isn't easy.

"On a sporting level, Neymar is one of the best in the world. The club would also have taken a leap in terms of the level of image rights and sponsors.

"I never asked for the signing of Neymar. All I did was give my opinion.

"I'm not disappointed [that he wasnt signed]. We have a spectacular squad, which can compete for everything, even without Neymar."

Barcelona used different measures in order to bring back Nermar to Barcelona but to no avail. Even on the dead line day, the negotiation was ongoing right until the final hours of the transfer window, no deal was agreed and Neymar will have to stay at Paris Saint-Germain for at least this year.

Do you think Barcelona did everything to bring him back?

Do you think Barcelona can cope without Neymar this season considering their greatest rival Real Madrid bought big players like Hazard and Jovic?
