Neymar hopes Barcelona can land Pogba

Neymar has revealed he would love to play with Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba at Barcelona.

The France midfielder, 23, was heavily linked with a move to Camp Nou prior to the 2015-16 season but eventually stayed with the Italian champions.

Neymar played against Pogba in the Champions League final last season and, when asked who he would like to line-up alongside, he told La Liga's official website: "Paul Pogba - he is a player who would fit in well here at Barcelona.

"What I like about Barcelona is that the players we have are fantastic. The best is [Lionel] Messi, and my best friend in football is [Dani] Alves."

The Brazil captain added: "I would like to have Pogba's shirt. He’s young, I like how he plays, how he behaves. I'd love to swap shirts with him.

"I have many shirts that mean a lot to me. My first as a professional, the first with Barcelona, I have many from our team and shirts belonging to idols of mine like Robinho, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho…

"Robinho was my childhood idol. I loved how he played at Santos."
