Neymar teases Messi reunion
The Al Hilal striker found time to speak to the reporters during the Bahrain Grand Prix, the start of the 2024 Formula 1 season.
The reporter asked Neymar his opinion about reuniting with Messi and several of his former teammates in Inter Miami.
Aside from Messi, notable Barcelona standouts who joined Inter Miami are Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets.
“Me and Messi playing together again? I hope so, I hope we will get to play together again,” Neymar said.
“He’s a great person, everyone knows him. I think he’s happy [in Miami] and if he’s happy I’m happy too.”
Way back from Barca, PSG
Neymar and Messi had a long and colorful history together as teammates.
The then-21-year-old Neymar arrived in Barcelona in 2013, and Messi took him under his wing.
Neymar and Messi formed the famous MSN attacking trio in Barca alongside Suarez.
The South American duo reunited in 2021 after the Argentine star signed with Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain.
From there, Neymar and Messi formed a powerful trio with France star Kylian Mbappe.
Neymar and Messi parted ways after two seasons with PSG.
While Messi has flourished in MLB, the same could not be said for Neymar in the Saudi Pro League this season.
The 32-year-old sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear during Brazil’s World Cup qualifier against Uruguay last October.
Neymar has received criticism due to his excessive partying despite undergoing rehab from his injury.
Still, Al Hilal tops the Saudi Pro League standings with 62 points.
