Neymar would be a wonderful addition Lionel Messi believes Neymar would make a 'wonderful addition' to the Barcelona squad should he opt to move to Camp Nou.
Speculation has intensified in recent weeks over where the Santos star will be plying his trade next season, with Barcelona currently attempting to negotiate a deal - despite the player's insistence he will remain in Brazil until 2014.
However, should such a move materialise, Messi feels the starlet would add a different dimension to Barca's attacking threat.
"I do not know if he will end up at the club or not. However, it is true that he is a player who would bring a very different dimension to the team," he told Qatar Alkass. "Of course he would be a wonderful addition."

Doll: Dortmund are not underdogs Ex-Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Doll has declared his former club must discard the underdog tag ahead of the UEFA Champions League final.
Saturday's decider will pit Dortmund against Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich, who dominated the German top tier this season to win the title by 25 points ahead of Doll's former employers.

Messi urges Barcelona not to change Lionel Messi does not believe that Barcelona should change their way of playing just because they struggled in Europe this season.
Barcelona's short 'tiki-taka' passing style had seen them dominate European competition in recent years but this season they were not at their fluent best.
They struggled against Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.
And although they were able to turn around poor first-leg results against Milan and PSG, Bayern exposed them in the semi-final, inflicting a 7-0 aggregate defeat.
A hamstring injury meant Messi was not always available for the Catalans during that time

Reina plays down Barcelona speculation Pepe Reina has played down speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona.
The Liverpool goalkeeper began his professional career at Camp Nou before leaving for Villarreal in 2002 and is reportedly one of Tito Vilanova's leading candidates to replace Victor Valdes as his number one ahead of the 2013-14 season.
Valdes has already confirmed his intention to leave the Catalan giants at the end of the current campaign for a new challenge after spending his entire career with the club.
That has led to his Spain international colleague Reina - who joined Liverpool from Villarreal eight years ago - being linked with a return to Barcelona, but the 30-year-old has stated that he is content with life under Brendan Rodgers at Anfield.

Podolski delighted with fourth spot Lukas Podolski expressed his delight at Arsenal's fourth-place Premier League finish that sealed UEFA Champions League football next season.
The striker was Arsene Wenger's marquee signing in July 2012 and he has repaid the faith shown in him by the Frenchman with a double-figure goal tally this season.
The German's two strikes against Wigan in their final home game of the season gave Arsenal the advantage over rivals Tottenham in their race for fourth place.
A final-day victory over Newcastle United secured a 16th consecutive season in the UEFA Champions League for the club, something Podolski knows was crucial.
