Idol Neymar! Every article: Barcelona miss out on visa-free Colombian forward Neser due to financial reasons

According to "Daily Sports" report, Barcelona had negotiations with Colombian forward Neser Villarreal in the first half of this year, who recently shined in the U20 World Youth Championship.

At that time, Nessel scored 8 goals and 4 assists in the South American U20 Championship. The player rejected the contract extension of his parent team Millionaire and was recommended to Barcelona through an intermediary. The report received by the latter rated the player very highly. This is undoubtedly a good market opportunity. It is not common for such a shooter to be exempted from a visa. However, due to financial reasons and the relegation of Barcelona B team to Segunda B, the deal ultimately failed to materialize and Barcelona took no further action.

Atletico Madrid had reached an agreement with millionaire Neser on the transfer, and Porto and Newcastle almost signed him. However, the forward who regards Neymar as his idol did not sign with any European team. Instead, he announced before the U20 World Youth Championship that he would join Cruzeiro as a free agent in January next year. The two parties signed a five-year contract, and the termination fee has not yet been disclosed.

Nessel has 5 goals and 1 assist in 4 games of this U20 World Youth Championship, and he is tied with Kremarski for the top scorer list. He is currently winning the Golden Boot of this tournament and helping Colombia U20 win the championship. However, due to the accumulation of yellow cards, he was suspended in the semi-finals against Argentina U20, and the team eventually failed to advance to the semi-finals.
