“I almost went to Bavaria … because of Pepa Guardiol. After I received the Pushkash Prize, my father called me at 2 o’clock in the morning. I answered me, he told me to open the door. At that moment I was in my briefs. And my father and Pep Guardiol came to me.

Pep said to me, “I want to sign you. Take a club with you to go. I will make you the best player in the world.”

He took out the paper, opened his laptop, told how I will play … PEP also said, “If you don’t beat 60 goals a season, I will leave the team.”

I replied, “Okay, but in which team?” PEP said, “Until I cannot tell you because it is not yet announced.” But I convinced him, and he said that he was signing a contract with Bavaria. And he added: “I know it’s a cold city, but I will take care of you.”

But in the end, I decided to join Barcelona, ​​- said Neymar.

The current employment agreement with Santos is calculated by the summer of 2025.
