Messi wishes Neymar good luck at PSG

Lionel Messi wished Neymar "a lot of luck" in his new adventure as his Barcelona colleague closes in on a world-record move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Neymar's proposed €222 million switch to the French capital swiftly gathered pace on Wednesday as he was granted permission to miss training and tie up his future.

"It was a great pleasure to have shared all these years with you, friend," Messi posted alongside a photo montage of the pair.

"I wish you a lot of luck in this new stage of your life. See you, I love you a lot."

Neymar's decision to leave, his inner circle reportedly of the opinion that he will not be considered the best player in the world until he has the opportunity to step out of Messi's shadow.
