Neymar and PSG new signing Lee Kang-in have turn PSG training sessions into fun moments with their new-found bromance which has got tongues wagging.
Since arriving at Parc des Princes from Mallorca this summer, Lee Kang-in and Neymar have found not just a teammate but a playmate and close pal in each other.
The pair have made headlines with their humorous antics both on the bench and during PSG training sessions.
With Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe out of the squad, Neymar is now the only player left in the PSG attacking trio.
But it appears he has apparently found a rewarding companion in Lee Kang-in. The bromance between the two players has taken center stage on PSG training grounds.
They have been spotted joking and messing around with each other in humorous scenes to the excitement of fans.
In one footage, Neymar was spotted on the bench with Lee Kang-in taking their bromance to another level. Neymar playfully rustled Lee Kang-in’s hair until the latter feels uncomfortable with it and flung off his hands as Neymar bursts into laughter.
In another footage, Neymar walked up to Lee Kang-in while the players were on a warm up and grabbed his hands and waved it to the fans.
Lee Kang-in seemed reluctant to open his hands at first but later acquiesced, opening his hands while Neymar wriggles it to wave to the fans.
The gesture was greeted with an applause by the excited fans who seemed enraptured by the hilarious scene between Neymar and the new boy from South Korea.
While Neymar seems to be the major actor in the jokes and fun moments with Lee Kang-in, the South Korean was also spotted initiating the first move when he walked up to Neymar in a training session and grabbed his two arms from the back before playfully kicking him.
The bromance between the two players seems to have caught the fancy of football fans around the world.
A fan wrote, “Neymar is such a great social friend.”
Another fan wrote, “He helps him adjust.”
Another added, “I love seeing this man laugh.”
