Neymar, whose full name is Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, is a football player who was born in Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil, February 5, 1992. Neymar is the son of Neymar da Silva Sr. and Nadine Santos. Neymar's father is a former footballer who made Neymar interested in football.

In 1992, Neymar moved with his family to São Vicente, where he started playing for youth side Portuguesa Santista. However, not having joined for one year, he had to leave the club, this was due to his family moving to the city of Santos.

In 2003, Neymar joined the Santos club and it was there that he made his first debut for six years, and at the age of 17, on 7 March 2009, where Santos won with a score of 201 against Oeste. Neymar scored 14 goals in 48 matches in his first season.

Neymar has his own charm in his game, so he has also succeeded in attracting the attention of many big clubs like Real Madrid. In 2010, santos also turned down a £12 million bid for Neymar from Premier League side West Ham United, and later another bid from another English club Chelsea, reportedly in the region of £20 million. Even so, his manager at the time, Wagner Ribeiro, was well aware of his athlete's desire to have a career in Europe.

He also performed brilliantly that season by winning the FIFA Puskas Award (2011) and South American Footballer of the Year (2011).

Entering the 2012 season, Neymar increasingly performed brilliantly. He managed to score his 100th goal and won a series of awards including the Golden Ball (2012), Runner-Up FIFA Puskas Award (2012) and South American Footballer of the Year (2012). 

Despite a series of successful achievements made by Neymar with Santos FC, his dream of playing in European matches made him move to Barcelona. He officially joined Lionel Messi et al, May 25 2013 with a 5 year contract period. 

Neymar made his competitive debut for Barcelona during the opening match of the 2013–1024 La Liga season as a 63rd minute substitute in the 7–0 win against Levante UD.

On 21 August, he scored his first competitive goal for Barcelona in the first leg of the 2013 Supercopa de España against Atletico Madrid.

On 26 October 2013, Neymar scored the opener in his first El Clásico appearance as Barça players beat Real Madrid 2–1 at Camp Nou. Later in the match, he assisted the team's winning goal scored by Alexis Sánchez.

On 11 December 2013 Neymar recorded his first Champions League goal and he scored a hat-trick in a 6-1 win over Celtic in Group H match. 

On August 3, 2017, Neymar officially moved to Paris Saint-Germain after paying a buy-out clause of € 222 million which made him the most expensive player in the world, shifting Paul Pogba who in 2016 broke the record after being bought for € 105 million.

Neymar's main playing position is usually as a forward, winger or occasionally as an attacking midfielder. Neymar has also frequently played as a striker for both club and country in a 4-3-3 team formation and drifted occasionally to a wing position due to his energetic pace and skill as a playmaker.
