Neymar da Silva Santos Junior (born 5 February 1992), also known as Neymar Júnior or simply Neymar, is a Brazilian footballer. He can play as a left or right winger, as an attacking midfielder or as a striker. He plays for Santos and the Brazil national team. He is the most expensive footballer of all time with a transfer fee of 222 million euros from FC Barcelona to PSG in August 2017.

He has been compared to former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi and also to Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, because of his dribbling skills, free-kicks, and goal scoring abilities.
