SAO PAULO (AP) -- Neymar said Saturday he will be joining Barcelona after the Confederations Cup, the latest addition to a star-filled roster that already includes four-time FIFA Player of the Year Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta.
 
The decision came a day after Neymar's Brazilian club, Santos, said it had accepted offers from Barcelona and Spanish rival Real Madrid, and that it was up to him to pick where he wanted to play.
 
The 21-year-old striker made the announcement on Twitter and Instagram.
 
''I wouldn't be able to wait until Monday. My friends and my family already know of my decision,'' he wrote. ''On Monday I will sign a contract with Barcelona.''
 
Barcelona confirmed the deal on its own Twitter account.

Interesting to see how he adapts to the Euro game. No doubt he's been coddled in Brazil, but now's his chance to silence the detractors.
