Bizarre hairstyle change for Neymar?! Brazilian dons blonde wig while celebrating poker win – with Al-Hilal star finding ‘happiness’ again after latest injury setback

The South American superstar has not had much to smile about of late, with more injury problems being endured at Al-Hilal. He is, however, on the road to recovery once more and will be hoping to figure prominently for the Saudi Pro League outfit in 2025.

He has spoken of his desire to remain in the Middle East through to the end of his contract – which includes an extension option – allowing him to grace next summer’s FIFA Club World. Exit talk is seemingly never far away, though, and a move to reunite with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami in MLS continues to be speculated on.

For now, Neymar is enjoying the winter break in Riyadh and putting his skills to the test away from the football field. The 32-year-old is a regular on the poker circuit – with some big wins to his name – and has been sharing the “happiness” that he now feels in all aspects of his life.

Neymar has rekindled his romance with Brazilian model Bruna Biancardi – the mother of his one-year-old daughter – and is back on the training field at Al-Hilal. What his hair looks like when returning to competitive action remains to be seen, but he is unlikely to be sporting a floppy blonde fringe.
