The subject of Neymar's potential return has of course long proven a major talking point in Catalunya's capital.
This comes after the Brazilian made himself available to his former employers, amid their ongoing search for reinforcements out wide with a view to next season.
As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then Neymar's push for a Camp Nou comeback looks set to fall on deaf ears.
As per a report from Sport:
'Barça have definitively put the return of the Brazilian on hold due to his repeated injuries and the emergence of Lamine Yamal, who will be the superstar of the new Spotify Camp Nou.'

Official: Atlético Madrid announce another transfer agreement
The busy summer window being enjoyed by La Liga giants Atlético Madrid has this week continued. This comes amid confirmation of a deal being put in place for a fresh addition to the defensive ranks in Diego Simeone's squad. The player on his way in at the Metropolitano? Marc Pubill. The name of right-back Pubill had emerged as an altogether prominent one in the media headlines across Europe over the last 48 hours. This came after word was forthcoming that Premier League outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers had sent an offer the way of Almería for his signature. Just when it appeared as though the 22-year-old was Molineux-bound, however, Atlético Madrid entered the fray in decisive fashion. After hijacking Wolves' deal for Pubill, the Rojiblancos quickly reached an agreement of their own with Almería. As per a statement across the website and social media platforms of the capital club: 'Atlético de Madrid and UD Almería have reached an agreement for the transfer of Marc Pubill to our club, pending his passing the relevant medical examination and signing a new contract.'

Liverpool consider shock move for Premier League forward linked with Barcelona
FC Barcelona's sporting department is working to sign a winger to reinforce the team's attack ahead of the upcoming season. After Nico Williams' decision to renew with Athletic Club until 2035, two main candidates remain: Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford. The Liverpool ace would require a significantly higher financial outlay than the Manchester United outcast, who could potentially arrive on loan. However, Barcelona are not the only club interested in securing Rashford's services for the upcoming season. Liverpool eyeing Rashford? Indeed, according to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are also considering the signing of the Manchester United forward, who will turn 28 in late October. The Reds are on the lookout for a new striker and have Alexander Isak of Newcastle United as their top priority. However, with the Magpies refusing to sell, alternatives are being explored. Rashford will leave Manchester United. (Photo by) And, one of the names that has been put on the table is that of Rashford, although there has been no progress made on that front so far. Rashford is not part of Manchester United's plans, and the Red Devils are seeking a way out for him in the coming weeks. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa and could leave Old Trafford again on loan for the new campaign. As has already been reported, Rashford's priority is to play for Barcelona, and he is willing to wait as long as necessary. However, it will be interesting to see whether the possibility of staying close to home by signing for Liverpool, should they consider making a move, tempts the 27-year-old.

Barcelona really admire UCL finalist but do not see him as transfer priority
According to a recent report from AS, it has come to light that although Barcelona are keeping a close eye on Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries, a move for the Dutch international is not currently on the table. While both manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco rate Dumfries highly, the club does not consider signing a full-back a priority at this stage of the transfer window. Barcelona have already strengthened their squad this summer with the arrivals of Marcus Rashford and goalkeeper Joan Garcia. These additions have covered the most urgent needs in the squad, and for now, the focus is on balance and maintaining financial stability. Still, the club continues to monitor interesting opportunities in the market and Dumfries is one of them. Dumfries' discounted clause expires soon The interest in Dumfries is driven in part by his availability at a cut-price fee. After renewing his contract with Inter Milan until 2028, a special clause was inserted that allows him to leave for €25 million, but only until midnight on July 31st, 2025. Barcelona really admire Denzel Dumfries. (Photo by) After that, Inter will be free to demand a significantly higher transfer fee. This limited-time clause has turned Dumfries into a short-term market opportunity, and Barcelona are aware of it. Reports suggest the club has held informal talks with his camp, including agent Jorge Mendes, who maintains a strong relationship with president Joan Laporta. However, Barcelona's current financial situation does not allow for a move unless a player is sold first. Without an outgoing transfer to free up space on the wage bill and generate funds, signing Dumfries is simply not feasible, even with the discount in place. As things stand, Dumfries remains a player admired by Barça's sporting department, but unless there is a late sale or shift in financial flexibility, the club will likely miss out on the opportunity to sign him at the lower price.
