Messi transfer – Neymar played a major role
Former Barcelona teammate Neymar was also heavily involved in the negotiations. The two played together from 2013 to 2017 and remain close friends. According to French reports, Neymar has offered his number 10 to Messi. The Brazilian received the number when he joined the club four years ago. Messi, however, has turned down the offer and will instead wear the number 19, which he wore at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
