Neymar shows off new look as he rocks shaved head after being deregistered by Al-Hilal following ACL injury

The South American forward, who is now the all-time leading goalscorer for his country, has become as famous for his appearance off the field as his performances on it. The 31-year-old likes to stand out from the crowd and is never afraid to break from the norm.

Some flamboyant hairstyles have been showcased by Neymar across his spells with Santos, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal. He has now decided to press the reset button, with the Brazil international revealing on Instagram that he has shaved all of his hair off.

Neymar has been deregistered by Al-Hilal after picking up an unfortunate ACL injury while on 2026 World Cup qualifying duty with Brazil. He will be out of action for several months, meaning that there is no place for him in the immediate plans of his Middle Eastern employers, with a long road to recovery being mapped out.

Neymar has taken in just five appearances for Al-Hilal, scoring one goal, and there has been talk of him cutting his spell in Saudi Arabia short as he reportedly lines up an emotional return to his roots at Santos.
