Joelinton has urged Newcastle United coach Eddie Howe to get on the phone to Neymar and sign the Paris Saint-Germain superstar.
With Kylian Mbappe now the main man at PSG, having renewed his contract in France, Neymar has been linked with a move away from the club.
And Newcastle, with the world s richest football club owners in Saudi Arabia s Public Investment Fund, are in theory one of very few potential suitors who could afford the sport s most expensive player.
The Magpies already have two Brazilians, too, in Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes.
After Thiago Silva told Globo that Neymar has to go to Chelsea , Joelinton, speaking to Brazilian podcast Cast FC, said: We can get him a spot. Sure, in any team in the world.
If he comes, it will be I can t explain it. The man is an idol. He s huge in world football.
Joelinton. Sensational.

So, the invitation is done: Ney, if you are listening to this, you can come. I ll run to you all the time. [The ball] will come easy.
Newcastle already have a tricky winger in Allan Saint-Maximin, but Joelinton did not hesitate in offering away his team-mate s number 10 shirt.
His quality, the visibility if we have the chance, I hope, the forward-turned-midfielder said. Coach, call him. The number 10 shirt is there waiting for him.
I ll send a message to Bruno. Bruno has his contact; he can send a message inviting Ney to play there.
