An unnamed supporter claimed that in addition to his passion for the Brazilian football tradition and the national team, Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior gave him personal reasons to include the striker in his will.
Except for his deceased father, the fan admitted in an interview with the local media outlet Metropoles that he doesn’t have any beneficial connections with his other family. Adding that his health was failing and he had no one to leave the stuff with.
“I am not in very good health, and, because of that, I really saw that I don’t have anyone to leave my things to… I wouldn’t want the government or relatives I don’t get along with to take my things.”
The fan said he identified with the PSG star more, and his relationship with his father reminded him of his father, who passed away.
“I like Neymar, I identify with him a lot. I also suffer with defamation, I am also very family-oriented, and the relationship with his father reminds me a lot of mine with my father, who has passed away,” he said in an interview.
The 30-year-old said that he had previously made fruitless attempts to leave the Brazilian international his property, but the will was a valid way to do so and was seen by a Porto Alegre notary’s office.
Neymar of Paris Saint-Germain is one of the most paid athletes in the world, with Forbes projecting $85 million in earnings for him in 2023.
The supporter stated, “I know that, above all, he is not greedy, something that is a little rare these days.”
