The players appear in an image released by the terrorist group with the message: "You will not enjoy security until we live it in Muslim countries."
Neymar and Lionel Messi are at the centre of the latest threat released by the terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS).
The footballers appear in an image seemingly depicting an execution, in which Messi is lying on the ground next to an ISIS flag, while a jihadi figher stands over a kneeling Neymar.
The photoshopped picture is accompanied by the message: "You will not enjoy security until we live it in Muslim countries."
The terrorist organisation has issued a number of threats in recent days as part of a seeming focus on instilling fear ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Last week, it released an image of an ISIS fighter and a bomb carrying the group's flag in front of Volgograd Arena, which is one of the tournament venues.
Messi and Neymar are both set to feature at the World Cup for the Argentina and Brazil national teams, respectively.
Messi was already threatened in another ISIS poster earlier this week, while France head coach Didier Deschamps has also been targeted.
