Neymar sent a special message to Philippe Coutinho after his Barcelona unveiling - but couldn't resist a dig at his Brazilian teammate.
Coutinho's £142m move to the Nou Camp was officially confirmed on Monday as he became the second most-expensive player in history.
Close friend and international colleague Neymar is the only player to trump that fee and he congratulated Coutinho on Instagram.
He uploaded a picture of the Brazilian from his unveiling, posting: "Very happy for you, I wish you every success in the world, I'm sure you'll be very happy…”
But he went on to mock the former Liverpool star by adding: "And tell me, is this hair in fashion?"
Speaking after completing his move, Coutinho revealed he had spoken to the PSG forward.
”I spoke to Neymar and he has nothing but good things to say about the team, the city and the dressing room.
“I also spoke to Luis Suarez and also Paulinho, and they also had good things to say.
"He [Suarez] has been house hunting for me. He is a good friend.
“We had good period together in Premier League.
"It’s an honour to play with him again."
