Neymar has spent less than 24 hours in Barcelona this week, but that was enough to make some big noise in the local press.

The player travelled to Catalonia to attend a court hearing dealing with an action against his former club. In the end, he wasn’t needed at the court, where over 100 media professionals expected him.

But there was much more involved, especially because some rumours said Neymar and his father had met the Barça president Josep Maria Bartomeu.

Newspaper Mundo Deportivo has a story about it today, and after contacting their sources from the Camp Nou side, the club ‘categorically deny’ any meeting of that type.

Mundo Deportivo claims that Neymar had dinner with Barcelona midfielder Arthur, and after that, he went to one of his favourite places in town, where he’s stayed until five in the morning.

Reports from the local media this week claimed Neymar offered to cancel his action against Barcelona, as long as the club promised to sign him from PSG. But according to Cadena SER, the possibility was ruled out by the Catalan side.
