The Brazilian claims that Neymar – like most players who have left the club – regrets his choice of leaving the Nou Camp.
He told Spanish radio show El Larguero: “I spoke with Neymar three weeks ago.
“Everyone who has played for Barcelona and left has regretted it and I think, for him, even more so than most.”

Important few months for Barca
Under manager Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona look to be on course to complete yet another historic season on both domestic and European fronts.
Their recent 2-0 win over La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid has almost secured another league title, with Barcelona currently sitting 11 points clear of the chasing pack.
They face a Copa del Rey final against Valencia at the end of May but before then Valverde’s side have the small matter of taking on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United in the Champions League.
All that silverware and domination for Barcelona, while PSG have little competition on a domestic level and have yet again disappointed on the European stage.
It isn’t hard to imagine that Neymar could have been made to think twice about his decision.
