During an interview with RoundCast on YouTube, Neymar Sr, father and agent of the Brazilian star, spoke about his son’s notable transfers, notably those to FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. If Neymar’s arrival at Barça was planned for a long time, his arrival at PSG in 2017 remains, according to him, a real bolt from the blue: “The only plan we had was to go to Barcelona. The rest… PSG was madness, it became a whirlwind. It happened very quickly, almost without warning. »
Neymar joined the Parisian club after PSG activated his release clause of 222 million euros, a record amount at the time. Neymar’s father also highlighted the unpredictable aspect of his son’s transfers, whether it be his departure for Al-Hilal or future plans.
A career marked by unexpected opportunities
As the end of his contract with Al-Hilal approaches in 2025, Neymar Sr is enigmatic about his son’s future: “We don’t know anything at the moment. Speculation exists, but Neymar always comes back stronger. It won’t be any different this time. » He also stressed the importance of unforeseen opportunities in Neymar’s career, pointing out that even projects like the one with Al-Hilal had emerged quickly and without planning.
Neymar’s father concludes by talking about the opportunities that open up to a player of his caliber, now aged 32:
“Having a free player of this level is a godsend. »
