In videos shared on social media, Yamal and Neymar can be seen playing footvolley, driving around in a golf buggy and relaxing by a swimming pool.

Neymar shared one clip of the duo on Friday, with Yamal commenting "My brother."

Yamal, 17, has spent time in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro this week, where he has also hung out with surfing world champion Gabriel Medina.

Yamal was six years old when Neymar joined Barça from Santos and, while he rates Lionel Messi as the best ever, he has always said that the Brazilian was the player he most enjoyed watching due to his style on the pitch.

"I was seven when I first saw him play in person at Camp Nou and it was incredible to see him," Yamal told CNN in an interview earlier this year.

"It's true that Messi was there, who was also incredible, but Neymar was something totally different. He has always been my idol. He's a star, a football legend," Yamal added.

He scored 18 goals and provided 25 assists in 55 appearances for his club last season, propelling himself into the conversation to win the Ballon d'Or.

His performances have also seen him compared to both Messi and Neymar, with ex-Barça winger Gerard Deulofeu calling him a "fusion" of the two, while his decision to dye his hair blond before the Copa final this year was also said to have been inspired by Neymar.
