The footballing world stood still as Neymar announced his international retirement in the aftermath of Brazil’s shock exit from the 2026 World Cup. However, the legendary forward’s father has since taken to social media to issue a moving plea, begging his son to reconsider hanging up his boots for good.

Brazilian superstar Neymar has reportedly pulled out of conversations with FC Cincinnati after being frustrated by slow progress on a potential move, according to The Athletic. Despite months of talks, the outlet reports the Major League Soccer side never made a offer to the 34-year-old. Neymar made his long-awaited first appearance in the World Cup on Wednesday.

Carlo Ancelotti has hailed Neymar's enduring passion for the game, likening the veteran forward's enthusiasm to that of a young boy following his return to action at the 2026 World Cup. The Santos star made his long-awaited international comeback as a second-half substitute during Brazil's commanding 3-0 victory over Scotland in Miami.

Bruna Biancardi has hit back at critics who label her a "trophy wife," insisting that she maintains full financial independence from Neymar. The Brazilian influencer and mother of two opened up about her professional life and the reality of her relationship with the Selecao's all-time goalscorer.
