About Neymar

Neymar is Brazil's all-time top scorer, passing Pelé in September 2023. He won the Champions League and a treble with Barcelona in 2015 as part of the 'MSN' front three with Messi and Suárez, and Olympic gold on home soil at Rio 2016.

His 2017 move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain cost €222 million, still the world-record transfer. After a spell at Al-Hilal cut short by injury, he returned to his boyhood club Santos in 2025.
