Emotional farewell from Neymar to Messi: “Brother, it didn’t turn out as we thought” | After his departure from PSG

“Brother… it didn’t turn out as we thought but we tried everything”, Neymar Jr. posted this Sunday. on his Instagram account along with a photo with Lionel Messi in the dressing room of the PSGafter the separation of the world champion in Qatar 2022 from the Parisian club. “It was a pleasure to share two more years with you. Good luck in your new stage and be happy. I love you”completed the Brazilian, who has not played since February due to injury.

Rosario’s response did not wait: “Thanks Ney! Beyond everything, that remains, that we once again enjoyed playing together and sharing the day to day. I wish you all the best. Apart from being crack, you’re a beautiful person and that’s what it’s worth in the end. I love you very much”.

The friendship between Neymar and Messi began in Barcelona when they formed part of the offensive trident known as “MSN” together with the Uruguayan Luis Suárez. And the trio’s relationship transcended the field of play: in total they shared four seasons in Catalonia until the Brazilian’s surprise departure to Paris in 2017, still the most expensive transfer in football history (222 million euros).

At Barça they knew how to win a Champions League (2015), something that could not be repeated at PSG and ended up fading the rosarino’s passage through France. In his last game, This Saturday, Messi was again booed by the fans in the defeat against Clermont by 3-2 and withdrew from the field of play in the middle of the Olympic lap that the team gave to win Ligue 01.

messi came to Paris in August 2021 -after his departure from Barcelona- and added two League championships and a French Super Cup. He scored 32 goals and 34 assists in 75 games.

In Arabia they talk about Messi

Meanwhile, Messi’s future is unknown. When everything seemed to indicate that a return to Barcelona was a certainty, from Saudi Arabia they assure that Al Hilal -former team of Ramón Díaz- will be their next destination.

According to the newspaper The Saudi GazetteMessi “he will fly to Riyadh in 48 hours in preparation for the official announcement upon his arrival in the city”. It is worth remembering that the man from Rosario recently traveled to that country as part of an advertising agreement and was sanctioned by PSG for not asking permission for such a trip.

If this operation is completed, Leo would become the highest paid player in the world, since it transpired that there is a contract of 400 million dollars a year on the table. Thus, it would far exceed the bills of the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldowho last January signed with the Al Nasser by 200 million.

Also, to put it in context, The man from Rosario earned 3.6 million in his last season in France. Which is said to be tempting, even for a wallet like Messi’s.

What other clubs are waiting for Leo Messi

Messi also has a lower offer to the Saudi Inter Miami of the United States, a franchise owned by former English player David Beckham.

The possibility of this team signing him and sending him on loan to Barcelona was even considered, to comply with the rigid financial fair play of LaLiga of Spain.
