Controversies
In 2010, he used to play for Brazilian club 'Santos,' and during a game against Goianiense, his team managed to win a penalty kick. Neymar though he would be going to take the penalty kick, but his coach Dorival Junior wanted someone else to take it, which made Neymar angry and he insulted him both on the field, and later in the dressing room. After the match, Neymar was banned for a match and his coach was fired.
In 2010, his fight with an opposite team player, Joao Marcos, turned into a mass brawl in a league for Santos against Ceara, after the police interrupted.
In 2012, it stirred a lot of controversy when the Brazilian sports magazine 'The Placar' published the photo of Neymar being crucified in the same way as Jesus Christ, on the cover of their magazine as a metaphor to criticize him for supposedly diving too often.
In 2015, a Brazilian court freezed his assets worth $50 for his unpaid taxes from 2011 to 2013, plus penalties and interest.
In 2017, he had a heated argument with team-mate Nelson Semedo during a training session in Miami, ahead of Barcelona's clash with Real Madrid.
In January 2018, he landed in controversy while he was playing a Ligue 1 match for Paris Saint-Germain against Stade Rennes FC. He teased the opposition player, Hamari Traore, as he withdrew his hand after reaching out for his hand. However, later he defended his act and called it just a "joke."
In 2018, a nike employee filed a complaint against Neymar and alleged that when they were on a marketing trip to New York City in 2016, they helped Neymar back to his hotel room while he was drunk. In the room, he tried to the exit and chased her in the hallway while being naked. She also said that he forced her to do oral sex but was unsuccessful. In 2020, Cooley LLP was hired by Nike to investigate the charges after which the contract with Neymar was terminated in 2020.
In April 2019, Stade Rennais FC defeated PSG during the final of French Cup. While making his way to the stadium, Neymar got into an argument with a fan who was abusing PSG players. Allegedly, the fan called Gianluigi Buffon a 'dirty idiot', Marco Verratti a 'racist', and told Neymar 'go learn how to play football' after which Neymar got into a fight with him and reportedly punched him as well. The French Football Federation banned him for 3 matches after the videos went viral.
In 2019, Neymar was accused of rape by a Brazilian model named Najila Trindade who alleged that Neymar raped her at a hotel in Paris, France on 15 May 2019.
Neymar later put out their WhatsApp conversation in public and said that he paid for her Paris trip and had consensual sex with her. Later, Trindade and her former husband, Estivens Alves, were accused of lying to police and attempting to blackmail the player.
In September 2020, he was given a red card while playing for PSG against Marseille. He hit the Spanish player Alvaro Gonzalez on the back of the head and accused of calling him a monkey after which the French Football Federation opened an investigation but later cleared him of doing anything against the spirit of the game. Gonzalez later said that he received more than 2 million WhatsApp messages, most of which were death threats. Gonzalez said that he did not step out of house for more than a month.
In 2022, he appeared in a TikTok video in which he lip synced the jingle of then-President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro. Many people including the Brazilian comedian Yuri Marçal took shots at Neymar. In reply, Neymar said that people talk about democracy but could not respect anyone's different opinion.
In June 2023, rumours circulated on social media claiming that Neymar cheated his then-girlfriend, , who was pregnant at that time. Allegedly, Neymar got physical on the Brazilian valentine day (celebrated on 12 June) with a Brazilian blogger named Fernanda Campos who said that they spent 40 minutes together, and Neymar did not tell her that he was in a relationship with Biancardi at that time.
There were rumours that Neymar and Biancardi were in sort of an open relationship with a contract that read that Neymar could be with other girls discreetly, girls should not be call girls, he wears a condom while making love, and he cannot kiss them on mouth. Later, Neymar wrote a lengthy message on Instagram mentioning that he did wrong with his family and also thanked Biancardi for carrying their child.
In July 2023, the Brazilian municipality of Mangaratiba fined Neymar 16 million reais (3.3 million dollars or 3 million euros) for the irregularities in the construction work at his beach house, Aero Rural condominium, in Rio de Janeiro state.
In January 2024, Neymar was critizised by Cida Gonçalves, Minister of women of Brazil, and Gleisi Hoffman, President of the Workers' Party of Brazil, for helping his Brazilian and PSG teammate, Dani Alves, who was charged of raping a 23-year old woman in a Barcelona night club in December 2022.
Reportedly, Neymar paid the fine of 150 thousand euros for Alves which helped him get the minimum sentence of four and a half years. He also arranged a attorney for Alves for the trail and asset management.

Neymar biography and profile
Neymar arrived to Santos back in 2003, to start playing for the club’s youth categories. He started becoming popular very early and way before turning a professional player. When he turned 14, he traveled to Madrid in Spain in order to go through some trials at the Merengues and according to the reports he was immediately accepted. However, Santos FC managed to hold on to their crown jewelry because the Brazilian club president at the time, Marcelo Teixeira , offered 1 million euros to Neymar ‘s father on the condition that the prodigious player stayed at the club until he turned professional.
Neymar had his debut in Santos shortly after he turned 17 (March 7, 2009), in a away match against Itápolis . His first goal as professional player arrived one week later on March 15 (2009), in a 3-0 win against Mogi Mirim . During his first years in the first team, Neymar shared most of the media focus with his good friend and teammate until 2012, Paulo Henrique Ganso , who is now playing for São Paulo . Neymar didn’t get any silverware during his first year as a professional footballer, since Santos finished 2nd in the “ Campeonato Paulista ” and 12nd in the “ Campeonato Brasileiro “.
In 2010, Santos won the “ Campeonato Paulista ” for the first time since Neymar had joined the squad and together with Robinho , Paulo Henrique Ganso and André , the team was often called as “ Meninos da Vila “, in a clear reference to the fact that several key players had been developed in the club’s youth ranks. Later that year, Neymar won his second career title and this time it was the “ Copa do Brasil ” trophy (the Brazilian Cup ). The Brazilian forward became the competition’s top goalscorer, with 11 goals. His performances were already impressing a lot of scouts from European big clubs by then and during the Old Continent’s summer transfer season in August, Chelsea has allegedly made a move on Neymar that would end up failing miserably after Pelé ‘s intervention. The all-time legend talked with the Brazilian youngster and convinced him that the best decision at that time was to stay put in Santos . The Brazilian club finished 8th in the “ Campeonato Brasileiro ” at the end of that year.

The 2011 year kicked off with all attention turned on to Neymar Jr . He was already being regarded as the best footballer playing in Brazil and there was a big amount of expectation to see how he would keep improving in the months and years ahead. Santos won the “ Campeonato Paulista ” for the second year in a row, the club’s 19th state title. However, the biggest accomplishment took place in the “ Copa dos Libertadores “, with Santos beating Peñarol in the final and Neymar scoring one of the winning goals, during the second leg 2-1 win. The Brazilian club were chasing that trophy for 48 years… Neymar scored the best goal of his short career that year, in a game against Ronaldinho and Atletico Paranaense . That goal allowed him to win the FIFA Ferenc Puskás award for the best goal of 2011, in a ceremony that was held a few months later in Switzerland , in January of 2012. Before that and deep in December 2011, Santos faced Barcelona in the FIFA Club World Cup and basically got crushed by the Spanish giants, with an impressive 4-0 final result. Neymar recognized that Barcelona had a far superior team and that his side had been taught how to play football that day. That was probably the first big step Neymar has made to open the doors towards signing for Barcelona sooner or later.
On August 24 of 2011, Neymar became a father for the first time in his life, at the age of 19. The mother was 17 and despite asking for her anonymity on a first stage, her identity was later revealed as being Carolina Dantas . Neymar son was a boy and was called Davi Lucca , but the Brazilian player’s relationship with Carolina was far from perfect, leaving few alternatives than paying the mother a monthly child support pension of 30.000 reais (roughly 13.000 US dollars). With the Brazilian National Team , Neymar had his first taste of participating in an important tournament with the Copa America, in July of 2011. Things didn’t go as the Brazilian people certainly expected and the “ Canarinha ” got knocked out in the competition’s quarter-finals, in the penalty-shout decision against Paraguay .

In 2012 Neymar led Santos to some more success in the “ Campeonato Paulista “, for the third straight time. On May of that year, Neymar became Santos highest goalscorer since the “ Pelé era”, after scoring another 2 goals against Bolivar, in the “ Copa dos Libertadores ” and reaching his 106th goal for the club. Santos wouldn’t get lucky in that competiton though and got thrown out by Corinthians , in a two-leg semi-finals. The second trophy Neymar won in 2012 was the “ Recopa Sul-Americana “, after beating Universidad de Chile in the final.
As for 2013, we can safely say that it definitely allowed Neymar to also confirm his star player status in the Brazilian National Team . The Confederations Cup was awaited with high expectation and Neymar didn’t defraud anyone, especially in the final against Spain . Brazil beat the current European and World champions and Neymar performed at his very best level. However, Neymar ‘s summer of 2013 will always be remembered for the time when he finally signed for Barcelona and got to initiate his journey in Europe . The Spanish club paid 50 million euros for the Brazilian star, for a 5-year deal that will allow Neymar to earn 7 million euros per year, plus a 1 million euros bonus if he ends up winning the FIFA Balon d’Or , an award which his current teammate Lionel Messi has won for the past 4 straight years and with that always leaving Cristiano Ronaldo behind him. Earlier in the year, Neymar has also announced that he was on a relationship with a new girlfriend, the Brazilian actress from Globo , Bruna Marquezine .

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior was born in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo , to Neymar Santos Sr. and Nadine da Silva and had a Christian upbringing. He inherited his name from his father, who is a former footballer and became his son's advisor as Neymar's talents began to grow. Neymar comments on his father's role: "My father has been by my side since I was little. He takes care of things, my finances and my family." Growing up, Neymar combined his love of futsal with street football. Neymar said that futsal had a massive influence on him growing up, helping him develop his technique, speed of thought and ability to perform moves in tight spaces.
In 2003, Neymar moved with his family to São Vicente , where he began playing for youth side Portuguesa Santista. Then, later in 2003, they moved to Santos , where Neymar joined Santos . With the success of his youth career and added income, the family bought their first property, a house next to Vila Belmiro, Santos' home stadium. Their quality of family life improved. At 17, he signed his first full professional contract, was upgraded to the Santos first team, and began signing his first sponsorship deals.
Neymar made his professional debut aged 17. He became famous when playing at Santos . He helped the club win two successive Campeonato Paulista championships, a Copa do Brasil , and the 2011 Copa Libertadores, Santos' first since 1963.
Neymar was twice named the South American Footballer of the Year, in 2011 and 2012, and soon relocated to Europe to join Barcelona . As part of Barcelona's attacking trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez , dubbed MSN , he won the continental treble of La Liga , the Copa del Rey , and the UEFA Champions League . He then attained a domestic double in the 2015–16 season.
Motivated to be a talisman at club level, Neymar transferred to PSG in 2017 in a move worth €222 million, making him the most expensive player ever. In France, he won four league titles, among other honours, and was voted Ligue 1 Player of the Year in his debut season. Notably, he helped PSG attain a domestic quadruple in the 2019–20 season, and led the club to its first ever Champions League Final .
In 2020-21, Neymar established himself as the highest scoring Brazilian player in Champions League history. Injuries riddled Neymar's playing time in PSG and in 2023, after six seasons, he signed for Al Hilal in a lucrative deal.
With 75 goals in 121 matches for Brazil since debuting at age 18, Neymar is the second highest goalscorer for his national team, trailing Pelé . At his youth stage for Brazil, he was a key player in the victory at the 2011 South American Youth Championship, where he finished as leading goalscorer, and also attained a silver medal in men's football at the 2012 Summer Olympics .
The following year, he won the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, winning the Golden Ball . His participation in the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2015 Copa América was cut short by injury and a suspension, respectively.
At the 2016 Summer Olympics he captained Brazil to their first Olympic gold medal in men's football. Having renounced the captaincy, he featured at the 2018 World Cup , and after missing the 2019 Copa América through injury, helped Brazil to a runner-up finish at the 2021 tournament.
Player profile
The media have often drawn comparisons between Neymar and Brazilian legend Pelé, as Neymar possesses similar attributes and also like Pelé came from the Santos Youth Academy and turned heads with his skill. Neymar has said that Pelé is his "role model" but also saying: "I don't like to make a comparison with Pelé". He has also been compared to compatriot Ronaldinho.
Neymar's increasing reputation led both the media and former great players to draw comparisons between Neymar and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, which Neymar has commented on saying: "Messi is above everyone, there is no use comparing me with him. He is the best player in the world and I always get inspired when I watch good football."
Neymar has a son, Davi Lucca, born on 13 August 2011, with former girlfriend Carolina Dantas.
At age 15, Neymar was earning 10,000 reais per month and at 16, 125,000 reais per month.
He has a very close sibling relationship with his sister Rafaella Beckran. He tattoed her face on his arm, while Beckran tattooed her brother's eyes on her arm.
Neymar is a Christian , and follows the Pentecostal branch of the religion.
In addition to his native Portuguese , Neymar also speaks Spanish.
In 2019, Forbes ranked Neymar the world's third highest-paid athlete (after Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo) with earnings of $105 million for the calendar year.
Neymar appeared on the cover of Time magazine in February 2013, the first Brazilian athlete to do so.
In April 2013, Brazilian cartoonist Mauricio de Sousa released a Monica's Gang comic book featuring a younger version of Neymar (called Neymar Jr. ) as the main character.
Neymar reportedly also tithes (10%) his income to his church. Each year, Neymar organises a charity match with fellow Brazilian footballer Nenê in Nenê's hometown of Jundiaí , with the purpose of raising food for needy families.
"I just want to be better every day, to get better every day, not to be better than anyone else."
"I always do as my heart tells me."
"When we lose, we don't have to change everything but correct things by working hard."
"I am not the type of person who lets the pressure get to him. I try to see it as my friend. I align with it to calm me down."
Neymar finished third for the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2015 and 2017, has been awarded the FIFA Puskás Award , has been named in the FIFA FIFPro World11 twice, the UEFA Team of the Year twice, and the UEFA Champions League Squad of the Season three times. Off the pitch, he ranks among the world's most prominent sportsmen. SportsPro named him the most marketable athlete in the world in 2012 and 2013, and ESPN cited him as the world's fourth-most famous athlete in 2016. In 2017, Time included him in its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2018, France Football ranked Neymar the world's third highest-paid footballer. The following year, Forbes ranked him the world's third highest-paid athlete, dropping a spot to fourth in 2020.

He appeared alongside Cristiano Ronaldo on the Champions and Ultimate Edition packs for FIFA 19 , where Neymar's "Hang Loose" goal celebration also features in the game.
In May 2013, SportsPro magazine named Neymar as the most marketable athlete on the planet for the second consecutive year. He topped the list ahead of Lionel Messi, Rory McIlroy , Usain Bolt and Cristiano Ronaldo, among other sportspeople. The list measures the monetary value, the age, the force in domestic markets, the charisma and their market potential in the next three years.
In March 2015, Neymar had the fourth highest social media rank in the world among sportspeople, behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and David Beckham, with 52 million Facebook fans. He has over 150 million Instagram followers, the third highest for a sportsperson (after Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi), and inside the top 10 most followed people. In ESPN 's list of active sportspeople in 2016, Neymar was ranked the fourth most famous athlete in the world. In April 2017, Neymar was included in the Time 100, Time magazine's list of the most influential people in the world. In 2019, ESPN again ranked him the world's fourth most famous athlete.

In November 2014, Neymar appeared in FIFA's "11 against Ebola " campaign with a selection of top football players from around the world, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale , Xavi and Didier Drogba . Under the slogan "Together, we can beat Ebola", FIFA's campaign was done in conjunction with the Confederation of African Football and health experts, with the players holding up eleven messages to raise awareness of the disease and ways to combat it.
In collaboration with DAZN, in 2019 Neymar appeared in The Making Of series, documentaries which relives the significant games that helped define football's greatest modern icons, with Neymar recounting his performance for Santos against Flamengo in 2011 when he scored that year's FIFA Puskás Award for Goal of the Year, and also the film Neymar and the Line of King which covers Neymar's journey in becoming one of Brazil's top players.
Most recently, he had signed a deal with Facebook Gaming. He was also the subject of a 2022 Netflix documentary series titled Neymar: The Perfect Chaos .
Neymar has become an icon in promoting Brazilian modern pop music, particularly Música sertaneja. The video in which Neymar dances in the Santos locker room dancing in front of teammates carrying his recorder making the round of the players and making them react to the tune of Michel Teló 's hit "Ai se eu te pego!" went viral . He made a point of performing his dance antics to the song after scoring goals in football games and appeared live with Teló in one of the latter's concerts. He also supported sertanejo singer Gusttavo Lima performing live with Lima on renditions of the singer's hits "Balada" and "Fazer Beber".
In 2012, he made cameo appearances in the music video for yet another sertanejo hit "Eu Quero Tchu, Eu Quero Tcha" by João Lucas & Marcelo. In 2013, Neymar appeared on a rap music video, "País do Futebol" by MC Guimê.
