HE'S only been gone a couple of weeks, but Neymar has returned to Barcelona.

But before fans of the Spanish club get excited, he was merely dropping in to meet friends - namely Lionel Messi and Suarez.

The world's most expensive footballer decided to celebrate his son's birthday with his former team-mates and their partners and children.

But while Suarez and Messi sauntered down the streets of the Spanish city with their families looking at ease, Neymar was keen to be aware of who was near him.

Barca fans are still furious at how he engineered his £198million move to PSG - and it hasn't helped that the Spanish club are yet to replace him in the team.

They are continually being frustrated in their pursuit of Liverpool winger Philippe Coutinho, and have switched their attentions to Ousmane Dembele at Borussia Dortmund and PSG's Angel Di Maria.

Despite news that his former club are looking to sue him for the princely sum of £7.8million, 25-year-old Neymar was happy to show face in the city and have a rendezvous with Messi and Suarez.

Messi posted a picture to the mobile social media platform, with the Brazilian sandwiched in between himself and Suarez – the trio nicknamed MSN – as he said goodbye to his former team-mates.

Argentina ace Messi captioned his post “volatile” with a series of laughing emojis.

Neymar has made a stunning start to his Paris Saint-Germain career, following his stunning £198m move from Barca, which was completed earlier this month.

He netted twice in their 6-2 trumping of Toulouse at Parc des Princes on Sunday, following a first club goal at Guingamp a week before.
