Neymar Jr’s 6YO Uncomfortable Truth Comes to Light After Season Ending Injury

The soccer world is no stranger to controversies and scandals. And the life of Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr. has been no exception. The Al-Hilal star forward, who is currently sidelined and out for this season due to an ACL injury, has found unexpected headlines lately. Neymar has been the subject of much scrutiny and criticism due to his numerous injuries. The latest revelations, however, about his signing with Paris Saint-Germain could change everything we thought we knew about the player.

As Neymar’s club and national team are still reverberating from his recent season-ending injury, an uncomfortable truth from six years ago is casting a shadow over his time in Paris.

A startling revelation about Neymar Jr’s signing with PSG

In August 2017, fans across the globe witnessed a landmark event as Neymar Jr. bid farewell to Barcelona to start his life with PSG. Tasked to bring Champions League glory to Paris, the forward’s time at the Parc des Princes was bitter-sweet, to say the least.

His six-year tenure at the club was marked by flashes of brilliance on the pitch but marred by recurring injuries and off-field controversies. Unveiling the uncomfortable truth, however, Footmercato has reported a shocking detail from Neymar’s arrival at PSG.

Reportedly, the Brazilian star had signed for PSG with a pre-existing injury – a stress fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. Despite doubts during the medical examination, PSG went ahead with the $241 million deal, thrusting Neymar into the spotlight with a hidden injury.

The repercussions of this revelation extend beyond Neymar’s recent season-ending injury. The stress in his foot was initially believed to be manageable. However, it evolved into a fractured metatarsal during a crucial match against Strasbourg. This latest fallout has reignited debates among supporters about PSG’s management decisions. Fans are also discontent, as they had long criticized the club’s handling of Neymar’s injuries.

Neymar’s ill-fated time at PSG

During his time at the French capital, the Brazilian sensation bagged up 118 goals and 77 assists in 173 appearances. However, the troubling fact is that Neymar Jr spent a staggering 741 days on the sidelines due to his injuries. When calculated, it is revealed that out of his six seasons, the Brazilian has been absent for at least 2 years.

Neymar’s criticism extended beyond his performance on the pitch, as fans targeted his lifestyle choices for his woes. His reputation as a party enthusiast also didn’t help the situation.

The 31-year-old forward now navigates rehabilitation in Saudi Arabia, sidelined with a ruptured ACL. The uncomfortable truth about his PSG inception adds a new layer to the complex legacy of Neymar Jr.
