Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (born 5 February 1992) is a Brazilian forward and attacking midfielder widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, currently playing for Santos after his return in January 2025. After debuting with Santos in 2009, he became a teenage sensation and won the 2011 Copa Libertadores before moving to Barcelona in 2013, where he formed the unstoppable MSN trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, capturing the continental treble in 2014–15. In 2017, he joined Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record €222 million transfer, dominating Ligue 1 and reaching the Champions League final in 2020, before a stint at Al-Hilal and his eventual return to Santos. On the international stage, he holds Brazil's all-time records for both goals (80) and assists (59), having played in four World Cups (2014-2026) and winning the 2013 Confederations Cup and a historic Olympic gold medal in 2016, though he retired from international football in 2026. His remarkable journey has cemented his status as a global icon, regularly appearing on lists like Forbes' highest-paid athletes and the Time 100.
