David Beckham Sends Classy Message To Neymar After Record-Breaking PSG Move



David Beckham has provided a message of support for Neymar following his record-breaking move to PSG being announced yesterday.

Speculation about Neymar's potential move to Paris had been rife and after Lionel Messi confirmed his ex teammate's transfer on Instagram a couple of days back, PSG made the official announcement for the £198 million move,trolling Barcelona in the process.

And former England captain Beckham, who made a total of 14 appearances for PSG in what was his final stint as a professional player before hanging his boots up in 2013, has sent the Brazilian a classy move as he prepares for a new challenge in the French capital.

Commenting on Neymar's Instagram post, he wrote:

"Respect from the best to the best... Joining a great club with great people and amazing fans good luck @neymarjr."

Beckham's message was one of many responses Neymar received on his emotional post in which he bid farewell to Barcelona after four glorious years at the Nou Camp, as well as expressing his excitement about his next chapter at the Parc Des Princes.

The PSG new boy's message in full reads:

"A Sportsman's life is moving for challenges. Some are taxes, others are the fruit of our decisions to maintain the light that illuminates our career, which is intense but short.

"Barcelona has been more than a challenge, it has been my dream as a child. He played with those cracks in the video game. I arrived at catalunya at age 21, full of challenges. I remember my first days at the club, sharing the costumes with idols like Messi, valdés, Xavi, Iniesta, puyol, and others with the expectation of playing in a club that is "more than a club". It's a nation representing Catalonia!

"I had the honor to act with the greatest athlete I've ever seen in my life and I'm sure I won't see another better, Leo Messi became my partner, friend inside and out of play. Proud to play with you. I love you!

"I formed an attack with Messi and Luis Suarez that has been left for the story. I've conquered everything a sportsman can conquer. I've lived unforgettable moments! I lived in a city that's more than a city, it's a country. I love Barcelona and Catalonia.

"But a sportsman (me) needs challenges.

"And for the second time in my life, I'm going to be opposing my dad. Dad, I understand and respect your opinion, but my decision is made, I ask you to support me as you always have.

"Barcelona and Catalonia will always be in my heart but I need new challenges.

"I have accepted the Paris Saint-Germain proposal to search for new conquests and help the club achieve the titles that the hobby awaits. I have been presented with a bold career plan and I look ready for this challenge.

"I appreciate the love of the wonderful blaugrana and everything I've learned with the athletes I've shared costumes with.

"I also feel in my heart that the time has come to leave. PSG will be my new home for the next few years and I will work to honour the trust they deposit in my football. I count a lot with everyone's support. Amateurs who have been with me since 2009, my friends, the professionals who accompany me and my family, who have suffered a lot from problems that have occurred in this period of my career and today deserve peace.

"It's a difficult decision, but taken with the maturity of my 25 years. FC Barcelona, thanks for everything! PSG, I'm coming! May God bless us and protect us!"

The Brazilian could make his debut for his new club as early as Saturday, when PSG take on Ligue Un newcomers Amiens.
