Neymar backs Coutinho and jokes about bringing mates to Santos | OneFootball

Neymar showed up on social media this Tuesday (8) to talk about his work as Santos' "director of football."

He left a joking comment in response to a video by journalist Lucas Musetti about Santos' attempt to sign Philippe Coutinho.

The Peixe No. 10 said he was responsible for the arrivals of Gabigol and Arthur, and commented that the former Vasco player is his "dream" signing.

Neymar also joked about the possibility of signing his friends Cris Guedes and Gil Cebola, saying their salaries are far too high for Brazilian football.

According to journalist Lucas Musetti, negotiations for Coutinho are still at an early stage.

Neymar himself is said to have taken the initiative for the move in the transfer market.
