🚨 Pogba: “When I met Messi and Neymar in 2017, Neymar told me he was leaving for Paris. I could see on Leo’s face that he didn’t like the idea. Then he said to me, ‘Pogba, let it go, let him do what he wants.’
Later, I spoke to Neymar and he admitted Messi wanted him to stay, but his decision was already made. I told him, ‘You know Messi is a genius. He understands football and knows what’s best for you.’ Still, Neymar felt his time at Barça was over.
If I were in his place, I would’ve followed Messi’s advice. He’s not just a player, he has an incredible understanding of the game. I don’t know if Neymar regrets it, but Messi was right.
If Neymar had stayed, everything would’ve been different. Playing alongside the best in the world helps you grow, both as a person and as a footballer. I would’ve loved to be in Neymar’s position. I believe I would’ve achieved so much more in my career.”
