Neymar

Born on February 5, 1992, in Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil, Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior is known simply as Neymar or Neymar Júnior among football fans. This player, who stands out with his skills on the left wing, plays for Santos, which competes in the Brazilian league Série A. Drawing attention with his dribbling ability, game intelligence and finishing, Neymar is considered one of the best players of his generation.

Neymar, one of the rare football players who scored more than 100 goals in three different teams, makes a name for himself with the goals he scored both in the UEFA Champions League and the Brazilian national team. Neymar, who started playing football in Santos' infrastructure at a very young age, signed a professional contract in 2009 and became eligible to take part in the A team.

The young talent, who stepped into this club when he was only 11 years old, attracted attention in a short time. He was named Campeonato Paulista Young Footballer of the Year in 2009 and played a major role in winning the Copa Libertadores the following year. By the 2010 season, he was on the radar of the world's leading clubs.

In addition to giants such as Manchester City, Inter and Real Madrid, Chelsea also showed great interest in Neymar. However, Santos' release clause of 30 million pounds for the young star caused Chelsea to reject his first offer. In fact, Brazilian legend Pelé and the national team's coach at the time, Mano Menezes, argued that it would be better for Neymar to stay in Santos.

In 2011, Neymar was named the best football player in Brazil and won the South American Footballer of the Year award. The goal he scored against Flamengo in the same year was honored as the best goal of the year by FIFA and Neymar received the Puskás Award. In 2013, he won the FIFA Confederations Cup while playing for the Brazilian national team, and was awarded the Golden Ball award for his performance in the tournament.

In this five-game championship in which he scored four goals, Neymar managed to be selected as the man of the match in the final. After these successes, he opened a new page in his career by transferring to Barcelona for the 2013-14 season.

Neymar was born on February 5, 1992 in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo, Brazil.
