Pini Zahavi has reportedly offered Barcelona and Bayern Munich the opportunity to sign 33-year-old Brazilian international Neymar in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Barcelona and Bayern Munich will have the opportunity to sign Neymar in the summer transfer window. The Brazilian attacker’s contract with his boyhood club Santos will expire on June 30. So, Pini Zahavi is working on finding a new destination for the world-class forward, offering him to the European bigwigs.
Neymar and his career trajectory
Neymar has been one of the best players in the world for over a decade. However, the veteran attacker’s career trajectory has been bizarre as he ended his time in Europe while still at his peak. While the player has enjoyed trophy-laden stints with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, fitness issues and attitude problems have pegged him back.
The 33-year-old completed a shock move to Al-Hilal in August 2023 but barely featured for the Saudi Pro League champions. The experienced forward’s ill-fated spell with Al-Hilal ended earlier this year, and he returned to his boyhood club Santos in January 2025.
The Brazilian international, who has 79 goals for his national side, has hit the ground running at Santos FC, amassing three goals and three assists in seven appearances thus far. However, he might return to Europe in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window, with Pini Zahavi offering him to Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
What next?
Barcelona and Bayern Munich will dip their toes in the market for offensive reinforcement in the summer transfer window. While the Catalan giants will likely part ways with Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati in the summer transfer window, Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman face an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena.
So, Barcelona and Bayern Munich can do with offensive signings in the summer transfer window. However, signing Neymar will be out of character for the two European bigwigs, and the report by SPORT claims that the Blaugrana will unlikely launch the offensive to re-sign the Brazilian international.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if Pini Zahavi can convince Barcelona, Bayern Munich, or any other club to pursue Neymar’s signature in the summer transfer window. However, the 33-year-old should continue his adventure with Santos to extend his stuttering career.
