Barcelona midfielder Arthur hopes Neymar re-signs for the club this summer

It is believed that both the fans and the squad want Neymar back with FC Barcelona, with midfielder Arthur expressing the same feelings: "Me, the fans and the team would like him to come to Barcelona. He's a star and I really like playing with him in the national team. I don't know if he has to take a step [by saying he wants to leave], as Pique said, but as a friend I wish him the best." 

According to Goal, Philippe Coutinho may be on his way out of The Blaugrana, so the club can afford Neymar's return. "It's his decision, he has to talk to his family, he has to be happy to stay. I think he's happy. My wish is [for him] to stay. He is happy these days and working hard, like everyone. I think he has everything to stay at Barca," Arthur added. 

Lately, Real Madrid has intruded in the 27-year-old sweepstakes with a major bid, surging as a serious threat to land the player, with the news slowly yet steadily set to develop within the next few days.
