NAimer Jr.’s future is uncertain. The shadow of retirement is starting to loom large, and the Brazilian star himself has not ruled out the possibility of retirement. In an interview with CazeTV, Neymar discussed the possibility of ending his playing career at the end of the year, always listening to his “heart’s instructions”.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen next, I don’t know what’s going to happen next year. Maybe December comes and I want to retire. I’m living one year at a time. This year is very important for Santos and for the Brazilian national team. It’s also a very big challenge for me because of the World Cup,” Neymar said.

I might want to retire in December.
“I wanted to play 100% this season as well. So I sat out some games and took care of myself a little bit more. I know a lot of people are talking rubbish, but they don’t know what’s going on day to day and they don’t know what it’s like. Santos has a very good plan. It helped me a lot and in that sense it helped me a lot. Of course I wanted to come back to help the team in the best possible way, but in the end I had to wait a little bit.”I came back 100% without any pain or fear and was able to come back very well in this last game,” the Brazilian said.
“With a lot of training, a lot of perseverance, that’s what drives us and I will reach my 100%. That’s what I want and that’s what I told them. So I live one year at a time. I don’t know what’s going to happen next, I don’t know next year. Maybe December comes and I want to retire, I don’t know. That’s for my heart to decide,” concluded Neymar Jr.
