The deal has been sealed and he is leaving, but not before he posted an emotional message on his Instagram account.
Here is what the caption says:
An athlete's life is full of challenges. Some which are given to us and others are a result of the decisions we make," started off Neymar. "Coming to Barcelona was more than just a challenge to me. I remember playing with those stars in the video game and finally at the age of 21, I reached Catalonia.
I remember my first days in the Club, sharing the costumes with idols like Messi, Vald¨¦s, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Piqu¨¦, Busquets and others with the expectation of playing in a Club that is 'more than a club'.
Leo Messi became my friend in and out of the pitch. It was an honour to play with you. 'I made a trio with Messi and Suarez that made history, conquered everything an athlete can conquer, lived unforgettable moments, lived in a city that is more than a city, it is a homeland. I love Barcelona and Catalonia.
But an athlete needs challenges. And for the second time in my life, I will contradict my father.
?have accepted the proposal of PSG to try new achievements and help the Club to win the titles that their crowd wants. They showed me a daring career plan and I feel ready to take on this challenge. They showed me a daring career plan and I feel ready to take on this challenge.
Barcelona, thank you for everything. PSG, I am coming!! May God bless and protect us!
