With Neymar being heavily linked with a return to FC Barcelona, Brazil legend Rivaldo has given his opinion on the Paris Saint-Germain star's potential return to the Spanish giants.
Speculation regarding the future of the world's most expensive player has reached an all-time high, after Marca claimed that the Parisian giants placed the Selecao star on the market this week.

With both Barca and Real Madrid believed to be vying for the dribbling wizard's signature, 1999 Ballon d'Or winner Rivaldo recently discussed a potential return to the Blaugrana for Neymar.
"I would love for him to return (to Barcelona) and it would be very good for the team and for him," he said, as per Sport English.
"I hope he goes back, changes his mentality and starts playing football. If he returns, Barcelona will have a chance to win the Champions League and he will have a chance to become the best in the world.
"Almost 70% [of the fans] don't want him back. When the ball ends up in the net and if he also wins the Champions League, then everything will be forgotten.
"When wins arrive and if he plays well, everything changes. He is at the best age to play football, even better than when Barcelona won the treble."
Rivaldo also weighed in on Neymar's national teammate Philippe Coutinho, who became Barcelona's record club signing when he joined, but has since failed to justify the staggering €142 million (R2.3 billion) transfer fee the LaLiga giants paid for his services in January 2018.
"(Coutinho) is a good player but things haven't gone his way yet," he added.
"He will have time if he doesn't leave the club, but we don't know if he will stay if Neymar arrives.
"If he thinks he can't be the same he was when he played at Liverpool, then it would be better to talk with the president to leave for a good club."
