Barcelona fans go into meltdown over Lionel Messi’s ‘goodbye’ message to Neymar

But after arriving at the training ground the club took to social media to confirm he had been given permission to skip the session.

Later Barcelona released a statement confirming the Brazilian has told the club he wants to leave and will not be training with the club until the situation has been resolved.

Meanwhile Paris Saint-Germain took to their own official page to post a ‘wink’ emoji, apparently enjoying the way in which the transfer saga is unfolding.

And then, just when Barcelona fans thought the day couldn’t get any more emotional, Lionel Messi decided to break his silence.

Taking to Instagram, the Argentine uploaded a slideshow of pictures showing the pair representing the Catalan club over the years.

Alongside the clip he wrote: ” It was an enormous pleasure to have shared all these years with you friend Neymar I wish you luck in this new stage of your life. See you tomorrow.”

And well, as you can expect, Barcelona fans went into meltdown…
