Neymar has expressed his anger over Lucas Moura’s imminent move from Paris Saint-Germain to Tottenham Hotspur.
The 25-year-old insisted that his compatriot should not be allowed to leave the Ligue 1 outfit.
Lucas is set to join Spurs due to a lack of playing time in Paris.
The 25-year-old winger is yet to start a Ligue 1 match this season, limited to only six appearances in all competitions under head coach Unai Emery.
“I’m sad, because he’s a good friend, he’s a quality player who was rarely used.
“I think it’s very unfair. He is my brother in football. I wish him the best. Whatever the destination, I hope he will score a lot and he will return to the Brazilian national team,” he said.
“He’s not just a friend, he’s a very good guy. Here he could have been used a lot more but I’m not the owner of the team, not the owner of Paris. For me, he should never have left Paris,” Neymar told reporters after their 3-2 win over Rennes in Tuesday’s Coupe de la Ligue semi-final.
