Neymar has been a recognized dribbling master for many years and has the ability to instantly accelerate, so it is not without reason that he is called one of the most promising football players in the world. There is no point in being surprised that a new magician of the leather ball has appeared in Brazil: the football chronicle is literally overflowing with surnames with a Brazilian accent - Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka... This list can be continued endlessly.
Neymar's childhood
Neymar was born on February 5, 1992 in the Brazilian city of Mogi das Cruzes, which is under the jurisdiction of the state of Sao Paulo, in the family of jeweler Neymar Sr. and Nadine Santos. A few years later, the Brazilian football player had a sister, Rafaela. 
Football became Neymar's passion from an early age. At 7, he was already a student of the Brazilian Santos. The unique playing style of the young football prodigy could not help but interest agents of leading European clubs, so at the age of 12 Neymar first moved to the Iberian Peninsula: here he studied at the Real Madrid academy for almost three years.
Neymar's first steps in big football
Playing in the Sao Paulo youth championship for Copiña, Neymar was already called the new Robinho. The first serious contract was signed with the Brazilian Santos in 2008. His term was due to expire in 2014, but the events described below foreshadowed his departure a year earlier. Neymar appeared in the first Santos lineup in the spring of 2009.Neymar in life
The next season, his team (largely thanks to young talent) “took” the Sao Paulo state championship, the National Cup and the Libertadores Cup. Having scored 11 goals during the Brazilian Cup, our hero became the top scorer. The first serious trophies were obtained. This was just the beginning of his football career.
Neymar playing for the Brazilian Santos
It is noteworthy that the legendary Pele also played for Santos at one time. In total, Neymar spent 4 seasons with the Brazilian club, playing 228 matches and scoring a total of 137 goals. During this time, he and the team became the champion of Sao Paulo three times (2010, 2011, 2012). In the summer of 2010, Santos management received several tempting offers to purchase the Brazilian from two English teams, but both West Ham United and Chelsea were refused.Already at the age of 19, Neymar was first recognized as “Footballer of the Year in South America.” It should be noted that in 2011 the young Brazilian talent was nominated for the most prestigious individual award in the football world - the Ballon d'Or (according to the voting results, the Brazilian took only 10th place). Here is another FIFA award “For the most beautiful goal” named after. F. Puskas went to Neymar without question.
Neymar's transfer to Barcelona
It is no secret that all European football giants were interested in Neymar, from Real Madrid to Chelsea, but he agreed to sign an agreement only with the Catalan Barcelona. Real offered a sky-high $58 million at that time. It is curious that after the announcement of the amount of compensation for the early termination of the contract with Santos, several potential buyers were immediately “scared off”.Neymar 2014 - Feints and goals
Representatives of Barcelona officially announced the acquisition of Neymar on May 27, 2013. The purchase amount was 50 million euros, and the promised salary was to be 7 million euros per year. The agreement was signed. All issues have been resolved. Almost all. A few months later, a persistent fan of the Catalan club was able to prove that the management of his favorite team, in particular president Sandro Rosell, did not account for all the money spent on the purchase of the Brazilian. Thus, official representatives of the football player and the club “kept silent” about 50% of the amount. As a result, after all the proceedings, the chair of the Barcelona president was taken by Josep Bartomeu.
Neymar today
Today Neymar is one of the highest paid football players of the new generation. His face can often be found on the cover of a fashion magazine or in television advertising. Millions of fans around the world learn about his daily life, including his personal life, from popular social networks, which the football player “looks into” every day. 
Neymar made his debut for Barcelona in a friendly match against Lechia, which took place on July 30, 2013. The young talent was able to score his first goal for the new club in the match for the Spanish Super Cup, which was also claimed by another team from the capital, Atlético. By chance, the victory went to the “garnet-blue”. During his first season at Barcelona, Neymar scored 16 goals in all competitions, appearing in 43 matches.
Neymar playing for Brazil
Neymar had every chance to play for the national team at the 2010 World Cup, which was held in South Africa. Then Pele himself recommended that the national team coach Dunga take a skilled, fast football player to the tournament, but the latter, citing the rather young age of the football player, refused to include Neymar even in the list of reserve players. However, already in August of the same year, he still managed to make his debut for the national team - in a match against the US team, Neymar even managed to score the decisive goal. From that moment on, his performance in this team was no longer in doubt.Neymar's personal life
The personal life of a young football player who has earned a fortune haunts millions of people around the world. It is known that Neymar loves to spend money thoughtlessly. Because of this, he even got into several unpleasant stories.At the age of 19, Neymar became not only the best football player in South America, but also a father. His 17-year-old girlfriend Carolina gave birth to his son, who was named Davi Lucca. The football player never built a relationship with his son’s mother. Before moving to Spain, he dated compatriot actress Bruna Marchesini for two years. In February 2014, information appeared that Neymar had an affair with Brazilian model Gabriella Lenzi.
Junior Neymar is one of the biggest stars in modern football. Every year the Brazilian progresses and becomes no less a discussed personality in sports than, for example, Ronaldo and Messi. However, despite his fame, many people, mostly outside of football, do not know which team Neymar is currently playing for.
Since August 2017 forward plays for PSG in Paris. He moved to this team from the Catalan Barcelona for € 222 million. By the way, this is the most expensive transfer in the history of football.
Perhaps Junior will not stay at the French club for long. Real Madrid is actively interested in the player, and there are rumors that the Brazilian himself wants to move to Madrid. This is all just talk and rumors unconfirmed by facts, but for now Neymar remains a Paris Saint-Germain player.
What teams did Neymar play for?
Since 2003, the player began training at the Santos youth academy (the club where the legendary Pele took his first steps in big football). In 2009, the footballer signed his first professional contract, which was supposed to keep him at the club until 2014. As part of the “fish”, the young forward quickly played at a high level, thereby attracting interest from leading clubs in Europe. With Santos, Neymar won the Liga Paulista (3), the Copa do Brasil (1), the Recopa Sudamericana (1) and the Copa Libertadoros (the most prestigious South American club tournament). Over 4.5 seasons, Junior played 224 matches for the team, scoring 134 goals.
In 2013, Neymar signed a five-year contract with the Spanish Barcelona. For his transfer, the Catalans had to pay Santos about €57 million. At Barça, the forward quickly settled in and became part of one of the strongest attacking trios in the world (Messi-Neymar-Suarez).
With the Spanish giants, the Brazilian won many trophies, including the UEFA Champions League. In all tournaments, he played 186 matches and scored 106 goals. Junior became one of the favorites of the Catalan fans, but this was not enough for him. All 4 years spent at the Camp Nou, the player was in the shadow of the legendary Argentinean Messi, and could not fully reveal his talent. As a result, the Brazilian striker left the Catalans and went to France.
Now you know where world-class star Junior Neymar plays. If a football player changes teams in the near future, we will immediately inform you about it.
Neymar's career began 11 years earlier - in the early 80s. The winger didn't show much promise; Having suffered from tuberculosis, he almost left football - he helped his father, a mechanic. After working in the garage, he spent time with the ball, went out onto the field on weekends, and once gave a great performance to the defense of Uniao, the hegemon of his native suburb.
Uniao played in the Segunda - a new level for Neymar, who was already 23. Without hesitation, he agreed to $100 a month, apologized to his father and left the stuffy garage. A year later, the winger became the team's best player. Segunda rivals trained specifically for him, the defenders hated him: Neymar’s dribbling was incredible.
The leading Rio Branco needed only a victory. Rua Casarejos pushed their favorites forward, but a completely unstoppable guy played on the flank of Uniao. The guests' number 7 tore apart the leader's defense; “Rio Branco” still won the championship, reached the top division of Paulista and first of all tried to buy Neymar.
A dream come true. This was a level above which only the stars. Neymar imagined a house that he would buy in a quiet area, a lawn on which he would teach his son his favorite tricks. But Uniao did not want to let go of the leader. A group of wealthy fans chipped in ten thousand cruzados. Neymar was persuaded to stay at the club, and 20 thousand dollars were given as a signing bonus.
Two years later he lost everything. The Brazilian authorities were going crazy, fighting inflation, which was turning money into paper. All bank accounts larger than a thousand dollars were frozen. Neymar returned to the beginning, but kept the car - a two-door Opel. He had just married a girl he had known for 10 years. She was expecting a child, but the football player did not know who exactly - an ultrasound cost money...
At the age of three, Juninho could already hit the wall. The family moved from a rented apartment in Rodeyo, paid for by the club, to a slum next to a landfill. There were 54 balls in Junior's room. The boy spent all his time with them; at two years old he almost got hit by a car when he ran out onto the roadway to get a ball...
His father was delighted with his abilities. At four years old, his son could do more than he could at eight. Coming to training one day, he blurted out that Juninho would outshine Pele himself. Teammates made fun of Neymar, but he believed in his son. “Hit with your left, hit with your left more often; there was this guy, Pele, he kicked with both feet - and there was no one better than him.”
Neymar took the child to training; Junior became the symbol of the club. He was even photographed with the team. The President joked that the boy could be entered into the championship. But Juninho managed without a football field. During one of the matches, he rushed around the stands like a panther - fast, agile; The famous Betinho, the scout who discovered Robinho, watched him from another tier.
“Who is this guy,” he asked his neighbor and heard the answer: “Neymar’s son.”
Fifteen years later, Betinho will say that Neymar Junior is like lightning that struck twice in the same place. His mother, Nadine, was flexible and dexterous, and his father, a star of the Brazilian grassroots, was famous for his top-end technique. Juninho had the perfect genes.
In 1997, 32-year-old Neymar ended his career. After the accident, he lost his ease and speed, new contracts were worse than the previous ones. He had already been involved in the jewelry business for five years, in which he invested a modest capital. But there was little money, and they still lived a couple of blocks from the landfill...
It took twelve years to get out of the slums. At the age of six, Junior became a beach soccer star, at seven he joined Santos, and at nine his games were attended by stars - even Robinho himself. At 17, Juninho was already a celebrity and the club offered him a contract. The conditions were so-so, but Neymar appeared in the office.
Don't hold back, my son will bring you millions!
For now, he's just a kid.
This kid will cost more than the entire Santos! And remember that our family supports Palmeiras when you change the number in the contract!..
Thus ended the story of one Neymar and began the journey of another. Nobody adds the prefix Junior anymore, and the former Uniao winger seems to the world to be a successful businessman. A trail of curses and lawsuits trails behind him, but face to face with his son, he becomes the same: an idol whom Neymar disobeyed only twice in 25 years.
The second time was when he moved to PSG.
The query “Neymar and his wife” is popular among Internet users. But by clicking on the links, they receive only unverified information from sites that publish rumors about the lives of stars. Let's talk about the footballer's personal life in more detail.
Football player Neymar: interesting facts
Neymar is a football prodigy. World football legend Pele called him the best player in the world.
Neymar turned 26 years old on February 5, 2018. By this time, he is known as one of the most successful football players and the holder of four UEFA personal records.
Every Brazilian is obsessed with football. Neymar’s father was no exception, who sent his son to the Santos club when he was barely 7 years old.
The boy showed phenomenal abilities. Representatives of six titled European clubs watched his play with interest even when he played in the youth championship.
As a teenager, Neymar moved to Europe and studied at the Real Madrid football academy. But he soon returned home to Brazil. Fans are still discussing several versions of what happened:
- Nostalgic. It was difficult for a 14-year-old boy to live away from his homeland and parents.
- Pragmatic. Allegedly, the Santos club paid the parents 1 million reais to return their son.
At the age of 16, Neymar signed his first professional contract with his native club. Before the 2010 World Cup, one of the Brazilian television channels organized an unprecedented campaign to collect signatures demanding that the young player be included in the national team. Despite the head coach's refusal, he participated in the national team's games that same year, but after the World Cup.
At the same time, Neymar's name appeared in several scandals. He had conflicts with the coach and was seen with girls of easy virtue. The young football player got a taste of fame and money.
In 2013, Neymar took second place in the list of the most expensive players in the history of the Spanish Barcelona.
Today, he is not only one of the most expensive football players in the world, but also the face of several famous brands. The footballer is also known for his extravagance. According to journalists, he spends almost all the money he earns on luxury.
Neymar: personal life
Neymar's personal life is also regularly discussed in the secular press.
It is known for certain that at the age of 19 he became the father of a boy who was named David Lucca da Silva Santos. He was given birth to Carolina Dantos, Neymar's then girlfriend, who was 2 years younger than him.
There were rumors that Neymar, as a devout Catholic, secretly married her. However, the football player himself never confirmed such information.
In 2011, the couple broke up, but Neymar takes part in raising his son, and Carolina herself states in an interview that they have maintained a warm relationship.
Since then, Neymar has gained fame as a ladies' man. Meticulous journalists calculated that the football player dated 18 girls after breaking up. Among them were actresses, fashion models, TV presenters, singers Rihanna and Selena Gomez, and even one adult film actress.
But Bruna Marchesini is listed separately in Neymar’s Don Juan list. The girl is 3 years younger than the football player. She tried herself as a model, actress and TV presenter. The couple officially dated from 2012 to 2014.
Problems arose from trying to maintain a long-distance relationship. Neymar and Bruna Marchesini had successful careers. Only he is in Europe, and she is in Brazil. Love did not survive the test of distance, and the couple broke up.
Neymar had several more affairs, including with the famous Brazilian model Gabriella Lenzi.
In 2016, Neymar again published photos on social networks of him and Bruna Marchenzini kissing. The press and fans enthusiastically discussed the couple's reunion, and gossip columnists asked questions about a possible marriage. But the football player gave evasive answers.
In 2017, information appeared that Neymar and Bruna broke up again after a joint vacation in South Africa.

Today the football player is enjoying life: he starred in the sequel to the film “Xxx,” recorded a song, and is involved in charity work. But Neymar does not voice his plans to start a family. And users are only wondering how reliable the information on the request “Neymar and his wife” is.
Many of his fans want to know who Neymar’s ex-wife was and what happened in the personal life of the famous Brazilian football player. It is known for certain that he had a son at a young age, but not everyone can piece together the whole picture of his personal life from individual facts. This is exactly what is discussed in the material below.
Child and wedding
When Neymar was nineteen years old, he had a child with a girl named Carolina Dantas. It was a resonant event for the then rising star of world football. He did not hide the fact that he had a baby, but on the contrary, he supported his girlfriend, who was only seventeen at the time.
A boy was born who was given the name Luca Davi. After giving birth, Carolina became Neymar's wife; a modest wedding took place in the homeland of the young people. According to rumors, the football player decided not to give up his child on the advice of his close friend Ronaldo, who is considered a legend among the galaxy of Brazilian stars. After the birth of the boy, the guy said that he was grateful to God for this miracle and was incredibly happy to become a father. This happened in 2011, but the relationship did not last long.
Parting
It is worth noting that even before the birth of his child, Neymar was a fairly popular young man. He had many short-term relationships, including TV presenter Nicole Bals, Daniela Carvalho and even porn star Daniele Sperle. There were also longer relationships with beautiful young ladies, and they all shone with their beauty. The birth of a child and a wedding put an end to such romances, although the demand for the football player did not subside.
The guy continued to be a target for female fans, which Neymar’s wife probably didn’t like too much. The exact reason for their separation is not known, but the young people did not stay married for long. Age also played a role, because they wanted to learn something new, but they were bound to each other by an oath of allegiance. Neymar's wife, like the footballer himself, did not comment publicly on this matter, and therefore one can only guess what exactly happened between them. Most opinions agree that fame among wide circles and youth did not allow the married couple to find common happiness.
Current relationship between them
Neymar's ex-wife Carolina has never been a well-known public person, but she still agreed to participate in a television show, where she shed light on her current relationship with the father of their child. She talked about how scared they were during the pregnancy and how difficult it was to stay calm during the birth. In the interview, the girl again avoided the real reasons for the couple’s separation, but talked about how she maintains contact with Neymar.
She says that the couple has maintained friendly relations and the football player continues to take care of her and her son. When a boy gets sick, the guy tries to find free time to visit his family and support. Neymar does not lose contact with his ex-wife and son, which Caroline is happy about. She likes to watch her son's joy when the whole family is together. Luka does not understand his father’s popularity, but continues to think that all parents are shown on television. At the end of the program, the girl said that she still wants to find her person in this life. She is not averse to getting married, but has not yet found a worthy candidate.
Neymar's personal life
Neymar's ex-wife looks great in the photo, as do his other girls. Even before the wedding, the football player had an affair with a young man named Anamara Barreiro. This model became even more famous after her nude photo shoot for a popular men's magazine.
Before this, many men wanted to see her next to them, but it was Neymar who managed to do this, although the romance did not last too long. The actress Bruna Marchesini became the new girl after the divorce, as evidenced by their joint photos and public appearances. The relationship was hindered by a move to Spain associated with a move to the Barcelona football club. The young people began to see each other less often; the relationship could not survive the test of distance.
In 2014, Neymar had a new lover named Gabriella Lenzi. She is a model, enjoys sports, including swimming, and leads an active life on social networks. This is the latest news about the personal life of Neymar, whose relationships with girls have never been long. Everyone hopes that the last girl will become his wife.
