Barca rule out Neymar signing
The Brazilian may have to wait for his Camp Nou return
Barcelona have ruled out the possibility of re-signing Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, according to Catalunya Radio.

The Red Devils were thought to be the front-runners for Bellingham's signature, but Dortmund are hoping their track record of developing young stars - such as Jadon Sancho - will give them the edge.
