Neymar presents Santos No. 10 jersey to the sons of Lionel Messi.
Santos proudly displayed an image of Lionel Messi alongside two of his sons, each holding the renowned No. 10 jersey of the Brazilian club, which is currently donned by Neymar.
The jerseys were presented as a gift from Neymar to his former teammates at Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
This No. 10 jersey is famously associated with Pele during his tenure at Santos.
Santos remarked: “From Neymar Jr. to Lionel Messi. From the Prince to the Genius. The Sacred Jersey, of immeasurable value, with the number immortalized by the King. 10 for Neymar. 10 for Messi. 10 for Pele. An infinite legacy in the history of football.”
“Greetings from Vila Belmiro, Lionel Messi!”
Neymar, who signed the jerseys for Thiago and Mateo Messi with a personal note, also posted the image on his Instagram.
