NEYMAR WAS IN TEARS BEFORE HIS FINAL GAME AT SANTOS ALTHOUGH HE IS VERY EXCITED TO PLAY FOR BARCA.
An emotional Neymar bid farewell to Santos fans on Sunday night,
while saying he was looking forward to fulfilling his dream of playing
with Leo Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta at Barcelona.Barca announced on Sunday morning that their
complex and lengthy pursuit of the Brazilian starlet, 21, was finally at
a close, and he is now expected to travel to Catalonia on June 3 or 4
to be formally presented as a Blaugrana jersey.Speaking after his last game in a Santos shirt - a
goalless draw against Flamengo on the opening day of the Brazilian
season - the player himself said the reality of the move had yet to sink
in.“The meaning of signing for the best team in the
world has not dropped yet,” Neymar said. “It will be an honour to play
there. To be able to play with Messi will be a dream ... with him, Xavi,
Iniesta, them all.”The attacker also thanked Santos fans for their
support in his four years as a senior player, during which he played 230
games and scored 138 goals, and suggested he would return later in his
career.
