Neymar’s transfer from Barcelona to PSG has sent shockwaves through the world of football, and predictably there has been an outpouring of reaction on social media.

His colleagues in the famed MSN strike force were the first to react, with Lionel Messi posting an emotional farewell and Luis Suarez followed suit.

Fellow Barcelona teammates Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta have also taken to social media to say their good-byes, as have Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Javier Mascherano, among others.

Although Barcelona fans may be upset at Neymar’s move, the players all wished the departing star good luck for his career – clearly, there are no hard feelings within the Barcelona camp.

Meanwhile, Brazil legend Pele, the man Neymar hopes to emulate, congratulated his compatriot on the move, and Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford posted a picture of himself with Neymar from earlier this season while also congratulating the Brazilian.

And Brazilians Lucas Moura and Marquinhos were the first PSG players to welcome their new teammate on social media.
