    Brazil's Neymar celebrates scoring in extra time against Croatia

    Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, known as Neymar, plays for Al-Hilal and Brazil and is a superstar of world football.

    The Brazilian plays as a left-winger but is versatile enough to fulfil most attacking roles. Having come through the Santos FC ranks, Neymar has been compared to Pele and also Lionel Messi and he remains one of the game's unique talents.

    In 2017, Neymar joined for PSG from Barcelona for a world record €222million, but made the switch to Saudi Arabia in August 2023 when he joined Al Hilal in a deal that could rise to €100m (£86.3m).

    The Brazilian is known for his dribbling, feints, touch, technique and shooting.

    Neymar's long list of silverware includes the Champions League, two La Liga titles and Ligue 1 five times. However, with Brazil he's only managed to claim the Confederations Cup in 2013 and an Olympic gold medal in 2016.
