Neymar wants Flamengo future

Barcelona forward Neymar has confessed he would love to return to Brazil and cited Flamengo as the club whom it would be an honour to play for.

The 24-year-old began his career at Santos – long-running rivals of Flamengo – with the pair ending this season tied on 71 points, both nine points behind champions Palmerias.

"If I could, I would like to play for Flamengo, it would be a great honour for me to play at the Maracana," Neymar commented during half time organized by Brazilian legend Zico to remember those who died in the plane crash involving Chapecoense.

"I would be playing there [at the Maracana] all day. It's a club I want to play for."

Neymar spent five seasons with Santos, scoring 136 goals in a total of 225 appearances before moving to Camp Nou in 2013.

However, his relationship with his former club has soured significantly since as Santos requested he be banned for six months for what they saw as breaking contractual rules when he moves to Catalonia.
