Neymar has been one of the most talented players in recent times. The soccer star rose up the ranks from Santos FC and played for the biggest clubs in the world. The player also gained a lot of popularity along with it. However, Neymar’s family has been supportive of him all the time. But recently, a former Neymar associate warned about his father being bossy and wanting the limelight.

Neymar’s father, also known as Neymar Sr., has sacrificed a lot for his son’s career. Growing up in poverty, Neymar’s skills were observed at a young age, leading him to move to Santos FC, where his life took a turn. Throughout his journey, his father played an important role. But now they are warned about having the wrong influence around them.

Musa said, “Neymar’s father likes to be the important guy. I’m not judging him, but it’s a fact. He likes to appear and say he is the boss. He also has a lot of people around him saying the right thing and, in my opinion, the wrong thing.”

The advisor worked with Neymar’s father in the past and created sponsorship projects to sell Neymar’s image. He also said that Neymar initially did not have any entourage beside him except him, the player, and Neymar Sr. But now the player has so many people around him. Since Neymar’s father takes center stage, all the people around him say the wrong things.
