Messi Is The Only Player Better Than Neymar – Former Barcelona President Rosell

Posted by E.L.E.X on May 29 2020 under Sports

Former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell said he would try to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar as he is the second-best player in the world behind Lionel Messi.

Neymar left Barca for PSG in a world-record €222 million ($246m) transfer in 2017, but the Brazilian forward continues to be linked with a return to Camp Nou.

The 28-year-old failed to make his way back to La Liga champions Barca at the start of the 2019-20 season and he is reportedly a transfer target again.

Rosell was president when Barca signed Neymar from Santos in 2013 and the 56-year-old heaped praise on the Brazil international.

“If I were the president of Barca, I would try to sign Neymar,” Rosell told COPE and Radio Marca.
“He is the second-best player in the world after Messi and fits perfectly into the philosophy of the club.
“But with experience, he would sign him with two contracts, one sports and the other behavioural.”
