According to 'Telefoot', Neymar has reportedly already been in contact with close friend and potential new teammate Leo Messi to offer him, amongst other things, the number 10 shirt at PSG. The Argentine has reportedly rejected it.
Paris Saint-Germain already have the signing of Leo Messi all but wrapped up. Rumours place the Argentine star at the Parc des Princes on a two-year deal - with a further one being optional - for a salary of 35 to 40 million.
His presentation could take place this Tuesday at the Eiffel Tower in a mega-event which could reveal what shirt number the Argentine will wear in Paris. This will be one of the most interesting facts after the Barca legend donned the number 10 for years in Catalonia.
Neymar is well aware of this aspect and, according to 'Telefoot', has already said to his good friend Messi that he can keep hold of his number 10 shirt, even if it will be worn a long way away from Barcelona. An act of complete respect from the Brazilian for his ex-Barca teammate.
However, Messi's response was, reportedly, a no. Messi doesn't want to arrive at PSG having everything laid out for him, and may even wear the number 19 shirt that wore at the start of his Barcelona career.
