Apparently Neymar said goodbye to his teammates, so the move to PSG seems like it's imminent.

The 25-year-old had a wonderful career with Barcelona and he, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez were one of, if not the most dominant trio in the history of the game.

3 years. 364 goals, 171 assists, 9 trophies.

After the news surfaced that Neymar said goodbye to his teammates, Messi posted an emotional and heartfelt message on Instagram for Neymar, all but signalling the end of his time with Barcelona.

Fue un placer enorme haber compartido todos estos años con vos, amigo @neymarjr. Te deseo mucha suerte en esta nueva etapa de tu vida. Nos vemos Tkm

Clearly there are no hard feelings about the move from Messi. Fans, on the other hand, don't feel the same.
