Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar believes former teammate Lionel Messi will leave a lasting impact on MLS once his move to Inter Miami officially goes through.

"I'm certain that Leo is going to change the league in the United States," the Brazilian said, per ESPN's Adriana Garcia. "I believe the league will become a lot more popular. So everyone has to take advantage and enjoy watching him play because unfortunately nothing lasts forever."

Neymar added he's "sad and happy at the same time" because he wanted to continue playing alongside Messi but knows the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner will relish his new life in Miami.
