Gerard Pique Mercilessly Trolled After Neymar Asks To Leave Barcelona

Remember when Gerard Pique told the world that Neymar was staying at FC Barcelona? About that...

Pique 'put an end' to speculation linking the former Santos forward with a move to PSG with the words 'Se queda', but 10 days after the infamous tweet went viral, the Spanish defender has been made to look a tad foolish.

At 9:25am on Wednesday morning, @FCBarcelona confirmed that Neymar didn't train with the squad on Wednesday with the permission of the coach, Ernesto Valverde and the club have released a statement regarding the winger shortly after.

From promotional billboards in Barcelona featuring Neymar being taken down to his agent updating his social media in Paris, it looks inevitable that the former Santos winger will join PSG in the coming days.

And doesn't Gerard Pique know about it.

Here's the original tweet that sent Barcelona and PSG fans into a frenzy:

The defender has been bombarded with messages as the Brazilian prepares for his reported €222 million move to the French giants:

The trolling continued throughout the morning, with Pique yet to respond to the ongoing Neymar transfer story.

Ouch.
