The Brazilian superstar, who has faced persistent injury problems throughout his career, revealed his retirement plans during an interview. Neymar expressed his desire to continue playing but acknowledged the physical toll the sport has taken on his body as he approaches the latter stages of his career.
Despite his injury concerns, Neymar remains determined to feature for Brazil in the 2026 World Cup, which would likely be his final major international tournament. The 31-year-old has not played for his country since November 2022 due to recurring knee and ankle issues.
