This is a perfect move for both Neymar and Barcelona. Neymar has the kind of talent that will make Barcelona the elite club in La Liga. He will fit perfectly.
With David Villa set to leave the club, Neymar could find a home on the left side. A trio of Neymar, Messi and Pedro would be absolutely lethal.
In addition, Barcelona's players have expressed interest in Neymar. Dani Alves told NDTV Sports that the combination of Messi and Neymar would be a huge coup for Barcelona:
In some games they have marked Messi a lot and Neymar would help unbalance defences more. We have lacked a little continuity up front and the objective looking forward to next season is to continue competing for everything.
Neymar is an incredibly creative and electric player. At just 21, he has great technical skill and shows maturity on the field beyond his years. He has remarkable passing ability and can finish from anywhere. He's a star and already one of the best players in the world.
Paired with Messi, his already prolific goal scoring would increase.
Neymar scored 43 goals in 47 appearances in 2012 and has 13 goals in 20 matches this year. With Messi feeding him the ball, and with defenses unable to focus all their attention on Neymar, the Brazilian should put plenty of balls in the back of net.
Sounds like Barcelona have finally agreed on a price for Neymar. I read 30 million euros... More to come....

For his part, Messi seems excited about the prospect of adding Neymar. He told FootballTips that:
I do not know if he will end up at the club or not. However, it is true that he is a player who would bring a very different dimension to the team. Of course he would be a wonderful addition.
The combination of Messi and Neymar will have Barcelona fans salivating. Both are tremendous goal scorers and tremendous passers. Defenses will have a tough time trying to stop them. Throw in Pedro, a fine player in his own right, on the right side, and Barcelona is going to score a lot of goals.
Neymar will also take pressure off of Messi. Messi will no longer have to do all the work. Instead, the combination of Messi and Neymar means that if one has a bad night, the team won't suffer.
All in all, this is a terrific move for Barcelona. They get one of the best players in the world and give Messi another top player with whom to work. The combination makes Barcelona the instant favorite in La Liga, and beyond.
