SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Brazilian striker Neymar says he is officially a Barcelona player. Neymar said he signed a five-year contract agreement with the Spanish powerhouse on Monday, two days after announcing that he decided to pick the Catalan club instead of Real Madrid. "Im sad to be leaving Santos, but its a great honour to be signing with a club like Barcelona and to be able to play with some of the best players in the world," Neymar said. The 21-year-old Brazilian will be joining a star-filled roster that already includes four-time FIFA Player of the Year Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta. Neither Neymar nor Barcelona released financial details of the transfer, but Brazilian media said the Spanish club will pay about (euro)30 million for the youngster. Santos had fielded offers from Barcelona and Real Madrid and said it was up to Neymar to decide where he wanted to play. Neymar posted a message on Twitter and Instagram announcing his departure from the Brazilian club where he has thrived since he began playing professionally as a teenager in 2009. "Here it ends this wonderful passage with a special club," Neymar said. "Thank you for everything. Ill keep these moments with me my entire life." Neymar led Santos to its greatest run since Pele stopped playing for the club in the 1970s. He helped Santos win the 2010 Brazilian Cup, the 2011 Copa Libertadores and three straight Sao Paulo state championships. He remains the clubs leading scorer in the post-Pele era with 138 goals in 230 matches. Neymars father, Neymar Silva Santos, said that on Monday they signed a contract establishing the terms of the transfer, and a final document will be signed in Spain by Santos, his son and Barcelona. Neymar will join up with Brazils Confederations Cup squad on Tuesday and is expected to travel to Spain for his official introduction to Barcelona fans on June 2 after the national teams friendly against England at the Maracana. He wanted to play one last match with Santos at the Vila Belmiro Stadium, but the Brazilian football federation did release him from the national teams preparation for the Confederations Cup. Neymar said he doesnt mind if he is not given the No. 11 jersey that he was used to wearing with Santos and Brazil. "Lets see whats available, thats not going to be a problem," he said. Neymar also said that he still wasnt sure whether his family would make the move to Barcelona with him. Danny Ings Liverpool Jersey .

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Jersey . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead. Are we sure this guy is even a rookie, Riot Games? All right, well, if hes on the list of eligible candidates for the award, I guess we have a winner!When Bora YellOwStaR Kim left Team SoloMid last offseason to return to his old club Fnatic in Europe, there was a definite impact on the seven-time North American League of Legends Championship Series finalists. TSM had lost its last two finals to longtime rival Counter Logic Gaming, and then YellOwStaR, one of the best supports the game had ever seen, decided to depart instead of sticking it out for another split. With a majority of the bigger support names already signed to yearlong deals, the pool of available support talent left a lot to be desired.Who could live up to YellOwStaRs legacy? Promising young talent Lee IgNar Dong-geun from South Korea? Netherlands Glenn Hybrid Doornenbal, perhaps?When the dust settled, TSM picked an unsexy choice, Vincent Biofrost Wang. Not an import. Not an unknown player out of nowhere. Biofrost, for all intents and purposes, was a solid minor league player who had bounced around different teams in the Challenger scene before finally getting his chance with TSM.Although he had good experience, the new teammate was a steep drop-off from a support player who had gone to every previous World Championship.YellOwStaR was, well, a star. Biofrost was seemingly putting on shoes five sizes too big for him.As the heat picks up in Southern California with the beginning of August, we now know the truth: You could bring Biofrost the shoes of Shaquille ONeal and theyd still fit him.Beyond his stellar play and partnership with my MVP choice, Yiliang Doublelift Peng, its Biofrosts demeanor that separates him from noteworthy rookies before him. We saw the maniacal play of future MVP winner Lee Rush Yoon-jae when he was a newcomer, but the South Korean jungler was unrefined in his first split. Usually when an elite rookie makes his appearance known, hes a strong player in most categories but lacks in certain areas. Hes either too aggressive or hes too passive. It generally takes upward of a year for a rookie to finally start finding a balance between the two and become an all-around player.Biofrost is already at that point after just a single split in the NA LCS. From his interviews to his movements in-game, it doesnt feel like this is Biofrosts first season. If you covered up his ID during games while hes on his trademark Bard, youd think you were watching one of the better, more experienced supports in League of Legends Champions Korea. There have been times when he has faltered, and it hasnt affected him in the slightest. He doesnt shy away from making a big play even after failing the first time, and Doublelift, the best AD carry North America has ever produced, shows enough confidence in the rookie to follow his lead at times.ddddddddddddIts not only that Biofrost is a great player, which he most certainly is, but its also how he plays the game that makes him one of the best Rookie of the Split winners weve seen in the history of the LCS. Its easy to say his success solely comes from playing alongside an exceptionally talented core of players on TSM, but you dont make it to a 17-1 record in a best-of-three format with a substandard player in the support role.If the same issues that plagued TSM last year were still prevalent on the team, Immortals would have finished first in North America and TSM would have settled around the same area where Team Liquid and CLG currently sit heading into the playoffs. On a team with four mature players who knew what it takes to make it through an LCS season, Biofrost didnt feel out of place once; sometimes he actually became the factor that won TSM games through his pivotal Bard ultimates or Karma sped-up engages.Playoffs could be an entirely different story. With the heat on him to win a championship and the matches transitioning into a best-of-five, we might see Biofrost sweat, or maybe even slip up for the first time. Until that happens, though, Biofrost is as cool as you can be in the bottom lane, ready to prove that ice truly flows in his veins.Honorable mentionsRami Inori Charagh: In a world where visa issues hadnt plagued Phoenix1, Inori might have won this award. Its sad that a Rookie of the Split runoff for the ages was nullified due to Inori only being able to play a little over half the season. Inoris play since joining P1 has been phenomenal, and he was the ace of a team that would have been a playoff side if it had had its starting five from the beginning of the split.Jovani Fabbbyyy Guillen: Fabbbyyy had a good split as a rookie for playoff squad Team Liquid, but he unluckily was a rookie in a season where Biofrost and Inori stole all the Rookie of the Split headlines. Well see if he can have a breakout performance in the quarterfinals for TL as they go up against back-to-back defending champions CLG.Jeon Ray Ji-won: Glass cannon is the best way to describe Apexs carry-oriented rookie top laner. It looked like Ray would be a top contender for Rookie of the Split in the early weeks of the season, but his kills shrank and his deaths skyrocketed as the season went along.Derek Zig Shao: Maybe lagging a bit behind the other four rookies mentioned, Zig had a solid season after his almost-five-year odyssey to make it into the NA LCS. If Phoenix1 can requalify for the LCS, Zig should have a better season next time in a full split alongside Inori. ' ' '
