Neymar speaking in the video
Neymar
has posted an emotional goodbye message to Barcelona on social media
explaining his decision to leave the Spanish side for a new challenge
with PSG in France. Brazilian football superstar, Neymar Jnr, has posted an emotional
video in which he he bids farewell to Barcelona, saying he went against
the advice of his father in making the decision to move to Paris St
Germain, adding that "in my heart" it was the right move.
He pledged to help PSG "conquer the titles" the fans crave after completing a world-record £200 million transfer to the ambitious French club.
Neymar singled out Lionel Messi as "the best athlete I've ever seen in my life". He said;
"I'm sure I will never see another like him while I'm alive. Leo Messi
became my freind on and off the pitch. It was an honour to play with
you."
Explaining his reasons for leaving a club and city that he loves, he said "an athlete needs challenges".
"And for the second time in my life, I'll contradict my father.
Father, I understand and respect your opinion, but my decision is made
and I ask you to support me as you always do. Barcelona and Catalonia
will always be in my heart, but I need new challenges."
The 25-year-old said PSG "showed me a daring career plan - and I feel ready to take on this challenge". He said; "I will work hard to honour all the trust placed in my football. Barcelona, gracias per tot! Paris, j'arrive!"
PSG fans prepared to welcome him to Paris on Thursday evening.
