“I've already shared a dressing room with him. “I'm asked about it a lot of times because I'm Brazilian but I don't think my opinion would change anything. He's an incredible player.

Were an agreement to be reached for Neymar, then he would join a star-studded squad at Camp Nou. Ernesto Valverde boasts international options all over the pitch, with two of those coming between the sticks.
