Brazil legend Cafu has tipped young compatriot Neymar to be a big success at Barcelona following his long-awaited transfer from Santos.

The 21-year-old completed his move to Barca on Monday by signing a five-year-deal with the Spanish champions.

Neymar has attracted the attention of European giants such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and Bayern Munich in recent years but had resisted the temptations of a high-profile move.

However, Santos have decided to cash in on their star player and the world of football is awaiting to see how Neymar will cope in European football.

“Is Neymar ready? Absolutely. Neymar is 100 per cent ready to play for Barcelona,” Cafu told Goal.com.

“He is already a world class player.”

Cafu started his career with São Paulo and enjoyed a glittering playing career, winning 142 Brazil caps and two World Cups.

The 42-year-old spent most of his career in Europa with Roma and Milan, where he won a number of Serie A, Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup titles.
