The new "Barcelona" acquisition, 21-year-old forward Neymar, emotionally said goodbye to the "Santos" team, with whom he played his last match. The Brazilian league match against "Flamengo" ended in a draw. Before the match, the young "Peixe" talent did not hide his excitement and tears. "Playing for Barça is a dream come true. I am happy. I thank the Santos team for everything, and now I am already thinking about the new team. It will be an honor for me to play in the same club as Lionel Messi, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta," said the footballer. According to the Brazilian, the decision was also influenced by his compatriot, who plays for the Catalan club. "Dani Alves just blew my mind about Barça. He constantly talked about how everything is great here," Neymar smiled. Representatives of the Catalan club confirmed that negotiations are currently underway with the Brazilian Football Federation for the player to be allowed to come to Barcelona before the Confederations Cup tournament. The Barcelona newcomer is expected to be presented to the fans in early June.
