Jordi Mestre admitted that Barcelona players had asked for Neymar. However, they didn't pressurise the club to sign him. Mestre said that he appeared bad when the deal with PSG fell off. The former VP said that Neymar could return only on sporting terms. He added that his entrance will be followed by a series of conditions.

"I felt I'd been fighting an uphill battle for some time. I had different ideas about things to other board members but it wasn't important. I realised that I was the only one who thought in a certain way. The football committee which comprised Bartomeu, Bordas, Elias and Vilajoana were not in agreement with me or with Pep Segura in his role as General Manager. I was the only one who defended him and I felt alone," Mestre said.
