An Unexpected Testament

Just when Neymar’s present seemed clouded by uncertainty, a notarial document stirred up major buzz in Brazil. According to GZH and reported by Infobae, a businessman from Porto Alegre has decided to leave his entire fortune to the Santos forward.

The amount has not been disclosed, but reports suggest it includes properties, investments, and shares in international companies. While people close to the player doubt the validity of the will and claim no official documents have been received, the case has sparked both skepticism and curiosity.

The Reasons Behind the Choice

The 31-year-old businessman explained that he chose Neymar because he identifies with him. “I like Neymar, I relate a lot to him,” he said in an interview, emphasizing his empathy for the criticism and recurring injuries the former PSG star has endured.

He also praised Neymar’s character: “He’s not selfish, something rare nowadays.” On a more personal note, he admitted that Neymar’s relationship with his father, Neymar Pai, reminded him of the bond he had with his own late father.

Beyond the Money

Although it is unlikely that the inheritance approaches Neymar’s own fortune — estimated at over one billion dollars — the businessman’s decision reflects more than numbers. It symbolizes recognition for a player who, despite constant controversy, continues to inspire many beyond the pitch.

Ney’s Current Situation

At 33, Neymar is going through recovery after returning to Santos. In Carlo Ancelotti’s latest call-up, he was left out of the Brazil squad for the matches against Chile and Bolivia, showing that his sporting future is still in question. Yet beyond his form on the pitch, this unexpected inheritance puts him back in the spotlight.
