Neymar and Lionel Messi poked fun at Gerard Pique on social media over the Spaniard's claim that Neymar would remain at the Camp Nou.

The Brazilian traded Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain in a sensational world record £198m deal earlier this month, despite Pique tweeting a photo of himself and Neymar in July with a caption in Spanish reading 'he stays.'

Neymar was back in Catalunya on Tuesday - on the same day Barca announced they were suing their former player over an alleged breach of contract following his move to PSG - to celebrate his son's birthday.

And he took to Instagram to post a number of photographs upon his return, including one with Messi and Luis Suarez, with a message in Spanish reading 'friends that I missed'.

Messi put up the same photo on his Instagram page and cheekily tagged in Pique with the caption 'he came back'.

And Neymar also recreated the pose with Pique from a month ago, tagging his former team-mate in an Instagram post alongside the message 'stay here'.
