Neymar bids teary farewell to Brazilian football as Bale becomes the most wanted footballer in the world

Neymar played his last game for Santos yesterday, after it was announced that the sensational super star will be joining Barcelona. Just like David Beckham's weepy farewell on his last ever match, Neymar also emulated the English man by shedding tears on his last ever game for the Brazilian giants where he has spent 9 glorious years.

                      

                       

The 21 year old wrote on instagram

'I want to thank the fans of Santos for these incredible nine years. My feeling for the club and the fans will never change. It is eternal!

'Only a club like Santos FC could give me everything I have experienced on and off the field. I thank the wonderful fans who supported me even in the most difficult moments.

'Titles, goals, dribbling, celebrations and songs that fans created for me will be forever in my heart...'

                        

In a statement, Santos said they had made every effort to keep hold of the player.

It read: 'The management committee of Santos FC announces that it has received notification from the athlete Neymar Jr advising that he has decided to accept the proposal of Barcelona. The transfer of playmaker to the Spanish team will be sealed in the coming days.

'After refusing a offers of many millions for Neymar Jr since mid-2010, and implemented a career plan that allowed his historic stay in Brazil for several years, bucking the trend of Brazilian football to quickly sell its greatest talents, Santos FC finally agreed to sell.

'Every effort was made to keep him in Brazil as long as possible, even offering to renew the current contract, which ended in July 2014. At this time, however, it was not possible to compete with the terms offered from abroad, which affected the decision of the player to review his professional life.

'Due to the confidentiality agreement, and by mutual agreement, the terms of the transfer will not be disclosed by any of the parties.

A Barcelona statement read: 'FC Barcelona and Santos have agreed to terms for Neymar da Silva Santos Junior. The Brazilian forward will don the Blaugrana strip for the next five seasons. The 21-year old is one of the most promising footballers on the planet.'
