Neymar Sr: Do you think he tears his ACL playing poker? | OneFootball

In an interview with L'Equipe, Neymar's father, who is also his agent, defended the player from criticisms received and revealed that the Brazilian international has offers from European clubs participating in the Champions League.

The Santos forward's agent responded to critics, arguing that it is not because of his off-field life that the athlete gets injured: "We have to stop believing that with him, it's a carnival every night. On the field, he is a professional. Off it, it's his life. When he is on holiday or off, of course, he goes out."

"Injuries don't happen because he goes out with women. Do you think he tears his anterior cruciate ligament playing poker?"

About the future, Neymar Sr also revealed that his son has offers to return to Europe's biggest stages, but does not rule out staying in Brazil.

"People have the right to think he is finished, but I see an interested market. This week, we are going to Miami to talk with some clubs. European clubs Yes, and some from the Champions League. But the Brazilian market is also interesting."

Neymar has played 12 times for Santos since his return to Brazil from Al-Hilal, playing 12 times and scoring three and assisting three more. He was also sent off in his most recent game for the club – a 1-0 defeat at home to Botafogo.
