For six seasons, Neymar made vibrate, and sometimes frustrated, the supporters of Paris Saint-Germain. Arrived with great fanfare in 2017, the Brazilian quickly won the Parc des Princes thanks to his extraordinary technique, his confusing dribbles and his efficiency in front of the goal. But over time, repeated injuries, rumors of departure to Barcelona and a contested lifestyle have marred its popularity. Reciprocal wear which led to a separation in 2023.

In the summer of 2023, Neymar had left the capital for Saudi Arabia, joining Al-Hilal against 90 million euros. But then again, physical seeds have multiplied. He played only seven games with the Saudi club before trying a new rebound, this time in Brazil, in his Santos training club. A complicated homecoming, marked by an irregular form and doubts about the rest of his career.

Despite this chain of difficulties, Neymar continues to draw attention to Europe. In recent days, an unlikely rumor has recently announced it to Olympique de Marseille, triggering a wave of reactions on social networks. A scenario which seems not very credible, but which shows that the Brazilian star remains a central figure of the market, even weakened.

“It's great to have it”

And it is now in Italy that his name is insistently returned. In an interview with Gazzetta dello SportBremer, the Brazilian defender of Juventus, launched a foot call to his compatriot: ” Of course. It would be great to have someone like Ney here at Juve. »» A statement that fuels the idea of a possible return to Europe for the former Barcelona, this time under the colors of the old lady.

After Luka Modric (AC Milan) and Kevin de Bruyne (Naples), Serie A seems to be decided to become a land of reception for world stars. At 33, Neymar, often injured but still talented, take up a last European challenge before the World Cup? In the meantime, he has extended his contract with Santos until the end of the year.
