Neymar put talk of an exit from Paris Saint-Germain to the back of his mind as he welcomed Philadelphia 76ers star Jimmy Butler to Brazil on Tuesday.
The £198million attacker has seen the off-season dominated by talk of a return to Barcelona with recent reports that he has grown unhappy with life in Paris.
But Neymar was all smiles as he posed alongside NBA star Butler on a picture posted to his Instagram page.
Butler can understand Neymar's position this summer as he prepares to go into unrestricted free agency in the NBA, having failed to agree a new deal to remain in Philadelphia.
Neymar is shirtless for the photo while Butler sports a pair of eye-catching fluorescent shorts.
A potential return to Barcelona is dominating the headlines during the off-season and Neymar will no doubt have seen the view of Brazil legend Rivaldo on his future.
Former Barcelona forward and Betfair ambassador Rivaldo said: 'For me, yes, because he's a brilliant player who made a mistake in leaving.
'I think it's a good opportunity to come back, and if he comes back here, everything will change in his life, and he'll have good possibilities.
