A number of other high-profile figures from the world of football - including Ronaldinho, David Beckham and Marcus Rashford - have also sent the Brazilian forward messages on social media in recent days.
Although your average football fans is understandably outraged at the eye-watering amounts of money involved in this deal - Neymar will earn £782,000 a week before tax at the Parc des Princes following his £200 million transfer - those involved the game seem to understand his reasons for making the move.
The man himself insists his move to the French capital was not motivated by money - although cynics will argue that he would say that.
"What I say to these people is they don't know anything about my personal life, I was never motivated by money,” Neymar was quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "If I was following the money, I would be somewhere else, with other clubs in other countries. I'm really sad that people still think that way and I'm glad that PSG believe in me."Regardless of his reasons for leaving the Camp Nou, Neymar is now a PSG player and is focused on getting off to the best possible start.
