In what can only be described as a plot twist nobody asked for, Barcelona is reportedly mulling over the idea of re-signing Neymar, the once golden boy who has since transitioned into the realm of “unreliable rental.” At the ripe age of 33, Neymar has made the grand total of 13 appearances in the last two seasons, an impressive feat that raises the eyebrows of both skeptics and devoted fans alike. Fan reaction has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. “Two seasons? Thirteen games? I’ve seen more action from my grandmother during a family bingo night,” said one passionate supporter, who asked not to be named but was donning an ill-fitting Neymar jersey from 2017. “If this is the future, I’m starting to seriously reconsider my life choices.” Barcelona's board, famously known for its shrewd transfer dealings, seems unfazed by the years that have trickled by or the number of times Neymar has fallen into the clutches of injury. “He hasn’t played much, sure. But he has experience!” exclaimed an unnamed executive, while sipping on a vintage Catalan wine. “Experience counts for something, right? Just look at our last few signings!” The allure of Neymar's return can perhaps be traced back to an era when the Brazilian dazzled with skills that made defenders weep and fans chant his name. Now, however, his glowing highlight reel is more like a retro VHS tape lost in a pile of forgotten memorabilia. “He could easily slip into the role of a charismatic mascot,” another enthusiastic fan suggested. "Imagine him prancing around the pitch with a giant football, all while giving out hugs instead of assists!" Meanwhile, manager Hansi Flick has reportedly been reconsidering his tactical approach, stating, “If we bring Neymar back, we might just have to invent a new formation based on not getting injured and not expecting any actual defending.” The enthusiasm is palpable; after all, who wouldn’t want to see a 33-year-old samba star hobbling around like a startled gazelle? Critics, however, have voiced slight concerns about how well Neymar could integrate back into a squad that has unceremoniously transitioned into a team of youthful talents. “What do we do? Let him teach them the art of falling dramatically?” one analyst questioned while rolling his eyes at the absurdity of the situation. “Or do we give him a solid role on Instagram, where he’ll surely thrive with motivational quotes and selfies?” As discussions continue to unfold, Barcelona fans are left with a mix of hope and dread. “Maybe if we just keep him in the stadium to sell shirts, or at least keep him away from the medical staff, we might be onto something,” suggested one more optimistic supporter. “After all, who needs a healthy player when you have a legend returning for a swan song?" In the end, whether Neymar dons the Blaugrana once again or simply takes another unexpected detour into retirement, one thing remains clear: The world of football will always serve up contradictions wrapped in absurdity, and this potential reunion might just be the cherry on top of a very peculiar cake. Or, perhaps, it’s all just a really elaborate practical joke designed to keep us all guessing.
