`Barcelona should sell Messi now they have Neymar`

Madrid: Barcelona icon Johan Cruyff feels the Catalans should consider cashing in on Lionel Messi now they have brought Neymar on board.

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 may 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." Messi has a contract with Barcelona until June 2018, while Neymar recently inked a five-year deal, too. Goal.com
