Barcelona star Clement Lenglet hopes that the club can now concentrate on the season, now that the transfer saga surrounding Neymar is over. A lot was said in the press about the Brazilian's return to Barcelona, but ultimately, clubs couldn't come to an agreement which saw a move eventually fail.

The Paris Saint-Germain star was linked all summer to clubs like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus, with the Culés being the most interested in having Neymar back again to pair with Lionel Messi, according to Goal. 

While some were eager for the 27-year-old to return, some were also happy that this saga is all over, namely Clement Lenglet, "Neymar? There were many rumours. "It was a very hectic period for the club. Finally, it's over. This way we can work a little easier." 

Many players from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain were unsettled by the rumours, as they were included in a possible deal that would send Neymar to Camp Nou. A list that includes first-team players including Ivan Rakitic, Ousmane Dembélé and Nelson Semedo. The Blaugrana can now focus on the upcoming season where they currently trail Atlético Madrid by 5 points.

However, Ernesto Valverde hasn’t been able to field their big 3 at the same time yet, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suaréz injured since the start of the season. The international break should see both players totally fit so they can finally focus on playing their best football and recover the gap from Simeone's team.
