It has been reported that the player has been charging people money for boarding his party cruise during the festival season. The player is said to have already made 20 million Brazilian riyals, equivalent to over $4 million.

Apart from that, the player also signed an agreement with the team that pays half a million dollars per social media post promoting Saudi Arabian tourism.

Brazilian team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar commented on Neymar’s status earlier this month. The player has been out with a ruptured ACL and a torn meniscus, with many expecting him to make a return more the Copa America 2024. However, Lasmar believes it is too early to talk about the player’s return.
Lasmar stated, “It’s too early. There’s no point in skipping steps to recover sooner and taking unnecessary risks. Our expectation is that he will be prepared to return at the start of the 2024 season in Europe, which is August. We need to be patient. Talking about a return before nine months is premature.”
