While Josep Maria Bartomeu lamented the departure of Neymar, he believes it is an opportunity for Barcelona to reset their roster.

“We made a mistake in trusting too much in Neymar and his father,” Bartomeu said. “Neymar’s departure is an opportunity to return to a collective style of play and to invest in the cantera.”

Neymar went to Paris Saint-Germain in a world record transfer when they triggered his release clause.
