Brazilian football star Neymar has sent a message of support to Gabriel Jesus following the Brazilian striker’s move to Barcelona.
Jesus recently completed his transfer to the Catalan giants after leaving Arsenal, bringing an end to his time in the Premier League.
Following the announcement of the deal, Neymar took to social media to congratulate his fellow Brazilian and wished him well ahead of the next chapter of his career.
The former Barcelona forward shared a picture of Jesus and accompanied it with a brief message: “Good luck, kid.”
Neymar and Jesus have represented Brazil together on the international stage, making the message particularly significant as the striker begins his journey at Camp Nou.
Jesus joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022 and initially made a strong impression in north London. However, his time with the Gunners was later affected by injuries and inconsistent playing time.
His move to Barcelona now gives the 29-year-old an opportunity to rebuild his career at one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Barcelona will hope Jesus can provide additional attacking options as the club competes across domestic and European competitions. His experience in the Premier League and with the Brazilian national team could also prove valuable to the Catalan side.
For Jesus, the transfer represents a fresh start and the chance to play for a club with a rich history of Brazilian stars, including Neymar, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo.
Neymar’s short but encouraging message adds to the goodwill surrounding Jesus’ arrival as he prepares for a new challenge in Spain.
The Brazilian striker will now turn his attention to settling into Barcelona’s squad and making an impact under manager Hansi Flick.
