LIONEL MESSI HAS posted on Instagram to bid farewell to his soon-to-be-former team-mate Neymar, after it was this morning confirmed the Brazilian forward had told Barcelona he intends to leave the club.
Paris Saint-Germain poised to land the striker for a world record fee of €222m after Neymar informed his fellow Barca players that he is to leave the club, meaning Barcelona’s ‘MSN’ strikeforce is to be no more.
Playing together, Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez have contributed 364 goals (Messi with 153, Suarez 121, Neymar 90), and forged one of the most potent attacking relationships in modern football.

Complete with a cheesy track, Messi posted a compilation of he and Neymar’s ‘best-of’ to Instagram, along with a caption wishing his younger partner-in-crime luck in his Ligue 1 travails.
It was an enormous pleasure to have shared all these years with you, my friend Neymar. I wish you good luck in this new stage of your life. See you tomorrow.
PSG, however, are in no major rush to confirm the signing, with rumours rife that the Brazilian is to be unveiled not at Parc des Princes, but to the backdrop of an iconic Parisian monument.
Earlier today, the club’s Belgian right-back Thomas Meunier tweeted PSG to ask how the Neymar deal was progressing, with the club’s official account replying: “Wait a little longer”.
