It's been announced today that the ridiculously talented Neymar has signed a five-year deal with Barcelona instead of Real Madrid. He's being traded from the Brazilian club Santos for a price of  €30 million.

The original plan was to have Neymar continue playing at Santos until the 2014 World Cup. Things change, but this could be for the better for Neymar. A talent like him should have a chance to test himself against the elite of the world. It looks like he won't be needing Roc Nation Sports.

Also, how scary is it that Neymar and Lionel Messi are going to be on the same team?
