JAVIER PASTORE will hand Neymar his No 10 shirt ‘as a welcome’ when the Brazilian signs for Paris Saint-Germain.
The 25-year-old is on the brink of smashing the world record in a £198million deal after the player’s representatives met his Barcelona release clause. Neymar could become a PSG player by the end of the week after agreeing a staggering five-year deal worth £500,000-a-week after tax.
And if he does make his debut against Amiens on Saturday, Neymar will wear the No 10 jersey thanks to future team-mate Pastore.
Ahead of Neymar’s move, Pastore told Cadena Ser: “I want to offer my #10 to Neymar as a welcome act and to make him feel comfortable and happy from day one.
“I want to give him all the support he needs so we can win the Champions League together.
“It’s a small detail, but for me it was very important to have it. Now I want to welcome him with that symbol.”
Neymar has reportedly already completed his PSG medical having touched down in Portugal on Wednesday. And his controversial move has caused fury amongst Barca supporters.
Fans have already set fire to their Neymar shirts and have propped posters around the Nou Camp branding the Samba ace a ‘traitor.’
But Barca now have a transfer war chest to find his replacement having already held talks with Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe.
Premier League pair Philippe Coutinho and Eden Hazard also remain firmly on their radar.
