Messi: Neymar wonderful

Barcelona star Lionel Messi is excited at the prospect of Santos forward Neymar moving to the Catalan giants, saying he would be "a wonderful signing".

"I do not know if in the end he will sign with Barca, that only he knows", said Messi, who was visiting the UAE, to TV channel Qatar Alkass.

"I know this is a player who has very different individual solutions. It is clear that for Barcelona he would be a wonderful hire", Messi added.

Speculation has been rife in the past two weeks that Neymar is about to make the big move to European football and it has long been rumoured that Barcelona have a deal in place for the young Brazilian.
