The Brazilian superstar has taken to social media to express is happiness ahead of the six-time Ballon d’Or winner’s move has Messi decides to embark on the next stage of his career at Parc des Princes after 21 trophy-laden years at Camp Nou.
The 34-year-old Angentina international was unable to re-sign for Barca due to the club’s current financial difficulties, and officially announced his departure on Sunday, with PSG subsequently swooping in to hand him a two-year deal worth of €35m-per-year with the option of an extra season.
PSG have confirmed the six-time Ballon d’Or winner’s arrival, and Neymar has also expressed his excitement by posting a montage of some of the best moments he enjoyed with the Argentine at Barca on Instagram.
The Brazilian and Messi won two La Liga titles and the Champions League among a whole host of other honours together, and helped the Blaugrana clinch the treble in 2014-15 with Luis Suarez completing their fearsome forward line.
Neymar, who played alongside Messi at Camp Nou for four years before moving to Parc des Princes for a world-record €222m (£188m/$260m) fee in 2017, included the caption: “back together”.
Messi and Neymar now look set to form two-thirds of another mouth-watering attacking trident, with French striker Kylian Mbappe expected to ignore the advances of Real Madrid in favour of extending his stay at PSG.
