The President of La Liga, Javier Tebas has said he would prefer if Neymar does not return to La Liga because of his off field behaviour.

Neymar, who left Barcelona to join PSG for a world record fee of 222 million euros in August 2017, could make a surprise move back to Barca this summer.

Tebas said “In my opinion if Neymar behaves better, he can be a great player, but I think behaviour and the values that we set as a competition are also very important. I prefer another type of player. Neymar is a great player , but if the example off the pitch is not correct, then to be honest I’d prefer him not to come to the Spanish league.”
