Barcelona should sign Neymar over Griezmann

Barcelona should sign Neymar over Griezmann - Rivaldo

A Camp Nou legend believes a fellow Brazilian would be a more logical signing for the Liga champions than a World Cup winner at Atletico Madrid

Barcelona have been advised to shelve any interest in Antoine Griezmann and instead look to bring Neymar back to the club, with Rivaldo seeing a move for the Brazilian making more sense.

Those at Camp Nou are currently mulling over their options for the summer transfer window.

A new frontman is considered to figure prominently on their wish list, with several options being mooted.

Griezmann, as a long-standing target, was expected to be snapped up after requesting a switch away from Atletico Madrid.

No approach has been made, though, for the French World Cup winner.

That is leaving the door open for others, with Neymar having been linked with a retracing of his steps to Catalunya from Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Barca legend Rivaldo told Betfair on the approach he would take: “If I could choose one player to sign for Barcelona this summer it would be Neymar.

“The fans already know what he can do, he proved his value to the club last time he was there and he combines nicely with [Lionel] Messi and [Luis] Suarez. He's also a good alternative to lead the attack when Messi isn't available.

“Griezmann is a great player but signing him would be more of a gamble, as he's never played at Barcelona or with Messi and Suarez. Of course, if he manages to perform like at Atleti he certainly could be a great addition to the team.

“But I prefer Neymar for the reasons I pointed out.

“He knows the club and probably chats with Suarez and Messi regularly. Neymar's return might not make all the fans happy after the way he left for PSG, but if he helps them win the Champions League, fans would forgive anything.”

Neymar has time to weigh up his own future at present after suffering an untimely ankle injury.

He is set to play no part in the 2019 Copa America that will see Brazil going in search of continental glory on home soil.

Rivaldo said of that setback for the Selecao: “Before Neymar's injury I really thought Brazil would win the tournament.

“He makes the difference to any team and, after his season with PSG, I thought he would like to show to the world the amazing player he is.

“Now that we know he won't play, the Copa America is more open than ever. Brazil are the favourites, but they will feel the weight of Neymar's absence, and Argentina and Uruguay are serious contenders.

“This is not similar to what happened to Ronaldo before the 1998 World Cup final, when he played after an epilepsy problem. That happened hours before the match. We were all shocked. We all saw what happened. He was driven to a hospital, came back and decided to play just a few minutes before the final started. That affected all of us.

“Now Brazil will have more time to take in Neymar's absence and prepare for it. The other players need to step forward, take responsibility and shine.”

Messi Is Better Than Ronaldo – Ex Real Madrid Manager

Former Real Madrid manager, Vicente Del Bosque, believes Barcelona star Lionel Messi is superior to Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to who is the greatest player in this generation. WATCH VIDEO: WHO IS THE WORLD'S BEST? MESSI vs RONALDO Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated the football landscape in the last decade, with the pair winning the Ballon d’Or award five times apiece.

Messi Never Watches Barcelona Matches Again, Suarez REVEALS Why

Lionel Messi never watches Barcelona matches back because he's too self-critical, that's according to Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan says he is exactly like the Argentine and would rather discuss moments from a match rather than re-live them. Suarez has played alongside Messi since 2014, when he signed from Liverpool in a transfer worth £65million. The Uruguayan spends a lot of his time outside the club with his team-mate and has opened up on his habits. Asked whether Messi will watch Barcelona matches in his spare time as a way to critique a performance, he told Sport: "No, but we talk about a lot of situations in matches. "The good as much as the bad because we're both self-criticial. There are days when the team wins and I feel frustrated because I didn't perform well. "And Leo knows I'm in an argumentative mood. The same way I know when he's angry because he didn't have a good performance." Barcelona are currently top of La Liga...

Messi slapped with $1500 fine & one-game ban after red card & 'corruption' outburst

The Argentina captain suggested that the 2019 Copa America was rigged in favour of hosts Brazil after his controversial sending off against Chile CONMEBOL have handed Lionel Messi a $1500 fine for his inflammatory comments claiming that there was "corruption" within the federation relating to the Copa America tournament. Additionally, the Argentina star will serve a one-game suspension for the red card he received against Chile in the competition’s third-place match. The Barcelona forward clashed with Gary Medel in the first half of the match, with both players given their marching orders after coming together and the former appearing to aim a headbutt at his opponent. Messi sounded off against the South American federation earlier this month, but they have responded with a negligible fine and no further suspension beyond the automatic one-game punishment for a red card. After being sent off against Chile, Messi skipped the Copa America medal ceremony, cle...
