Neymar sent personalized Santos No. 10 jerseys to Lionel Messi and his sons ahead of the 2026 MLS season, sharing a heartfelt tribute online. The former Barcelona and PSG teammates won 11 trophies in six seasons together. Despite speculation about a reunion at Inter Miami, Neymar committed to Santos for 2026.

As the 2026 MLS season approaches, Neymar warmed hearts across the football world by sending a touching gift to Lionel Messi and his family. The Brazilian star gifted personalized Santos No. 10 jerseys to Messi and his sons, Thiago and Mateo, even signing them with special messages. The gesture symbolized the deep bond between the two icons, who shared six memorable seasons together at Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, winning 11 trophies in total.

Santos, where Neymar returned after a difficult spell with Al Hilal, secured their captain for the 2026 campaign despite transfer links connecting him to Messi’s Inter Miami. The Brazilian club shared the emotional moment on social media, celebrating the legacy of the iconic No. 10 shirt once worn by Pelé, Neymar and Messi.

Fans across Barcelona and PSG communities reacted emotionally, calling their friendship one of football’s greatest bromances. Speculation had grown about a possible reunion in MLS, especially after Inter Miami lifted the MLS Cup with former Barcelona stars like Messi, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Rodrigo De Paul. However, with Neymar committing to Santos and Miami filling their final Designated Player spot with Germán Berterame, a reunion now seems unlikely, though neither star has ruled it out entirely.
