Barcelona is reportedly considering a move to re-sign Brazilian superstar Neymar as an alternative to their primary target, Erling Haaland, for the summer of 2025. According to Spanish publication Sport, the Catalan club views Neymar as a viable option should their attempts to secure Haaland from Manchester City fall short.
Currently with Al Hilal, the 32-year-old Neymar will become a free agent when his contract expires next summer, allowing him the flexibility to choose his next club without incurring any transfer fees. A return to Barcelona could serve as an ideal platform for Neymar to maintain his match fitness ahead of Brazil’s 2026 FIFA World Cup squad selection.
In related news, Manchester United is taking proactive steps to extend the contract of defender Harry Maguire. Football Insider reports that the club is preparing to offer the 31-year-old center-back a one-year extension. Maguire, who joined United for a hefty £80 million from Leicester in 2018, has seen his playing time decrease in recent seasons.
The England international was close to a move to West Ham for £30 million last summer, but the transfer fell through. To avoid losing him for free at the end of the current season, United is looking to trigger an extension to his contract.
