Sell Messi, he is a dictator – Johan Cruyff. I have always said it, now a Barca legend has also confirmed it. No surprise.

Johan Cruyff, Netherlands and former Barcelona legend believe the Catalans have created a potential conflict of interest within the squad by signing Neymar to play alongside the Messi.

The Liga champions signed Neymar in a deal worth 57 million euros earlier this summer and Cruyff envisages problems following the former Santos star's arrival.

“With Neymar on board, I would have planned for the possibility of selling Messi. Some would agree with me and others would not. Cruyff told Marca.

“Neymar's arrival could cause problems. Just look at free kicks for example. Neymar is very good at taking them. And Messi has already shown he is great, too. Who's going to take them...

“Or the fact that Neymar and Barcelona are with Nike while Leo is with Adidas. These are situations that could cause problems.

“You are talking about a team, its players, the things around it. There are too many things at stake. That's why it's so difficult to manage such a top class squad.

“Neymar is talented, but we will have to wait and see how he gets along with the rest of the squad, I would not have taken the risk of bringing in Neymar.


I believe not think but believe that, Barcelona has made a great error in signing Neymar. They may have won the war over Madrid to bring him to Spain but I believe they have lost the battle to win Championships. They will win matches at first but later the house would begin to divide as Messi begins to shows his true colour as their rivalry starts. So sad. You win yet you lose. At the end, one of them would have to leave Barcelona for sure. Who would it be?.
