Barcelona full-back Dani Alves is looking forward to seeing Lionel Messi and Santos star Neymar playing alongside each other, should the Brazilian move to the Camp Nou.
The 20-year-old is one of the most sought-after players in world football and is continually being linked with a move to European clubs such as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus, but Barcelona are reportedly leading the chase.
Neymar recently admitted that he would like to move to Europe after his contract with Santos expires in the summer of 2014, but Dani Alves would like to see his future resolved sooner, in order to see him team up with Lionel Messi.
He said: "I am looking forward to seeing Neymar and Messi play together. He would fit in very well. Barcelona will arguably have the two best attackers in the world with him.
"I hope that the Neymar-saga will end soon and that the outcome will be satisfying for everyone."
The two players are described by many as the two best players in the world and according to Spanish newspaper, Sport, the Seleção international could join Messi at Barcelona as early as next summer.
Sport have reported that Barca president Sandro Rossell has negotiated a deal with Santos, where the Brazilian club would be forced to pay a fine of €40 million if Neymar moved elsewhere.
