Xavi is now plying his trade with Dutch giants PSV but is eyeing a move back to PSG in the summer.

Neymar and Xavi had known each other all the way from Barcelona as well and moved to PSG in different seasons, but the connection between them continued.

Xavi has now opened up on his relationship with the Brazil international, saying that the former Barcelona ace was helpful in Paris.

“Being able to speak Spanish, French, and Dutch, I could almost speak to everyone. Neymar, knowing me since I was a kid, helped me a lot,” he told Marca.
