The Brazilian posted on his official Instagram handle saying:
“We will see each other soon, friend.”
Neymar and Messi have not hidden their friendship for each other despite the former Santos star leaving the Camp Nou for a £200million world record fee to Paris in 2017.
And it is understood that Neymar wants to reunite with his favourite teammate at Parc des Princes next summer after the Argentine stated he would leave Barca at the end of the season.
However, Neymar suffered a nasty ankle injury which could see him not play against Barcelona in February as the extent of damage has not been revealed.
The 28-year-old was tackled hard from behind during PSG's 1-0 loss to Lyon in Ligue 1 over the weekend and his ankle seemed to have turned around from its original spot.
Neymar was in tears as he was stretchered off the pitch which could see him go through another lengthy spell on the sidelines.
