Neymar's father and manager revealed that the athlete considered ending his career after his last injury. In a recent interview, his father even said that the player thought about giving up everything and not even having surgery. «I arrived at my son's house and he told me that he couldn't take it anymore, that he didn't even know if it was worth the operation... that he had had enough», he said. «Then I asked: 'So what are we going to operate for? But son, if you want to have the operation to focus on your recovery, I'm with you. So little left. There are only six months left, we are not giving up now. So when he came back and scored the goal... it was incredible.” Remember, Neymar has a vast history of injuries and, in 2025 alone, he had four stops that kept him away from the pitch. In total, the Brazilian international has already been forced to stop for 1535 days due to physical problems, which is equivalent to 259 games. Neymar Pai says that Neymar Jr. thought about stopping playing football after his last injury."I can't take it anymore. We're going to operate, but I don't even know if it's worth it, Dad. It's enough for me."📽️Instagram/rafael.keyboardpic.twitter.com/PNiKAGTQRg — LIBERTA DEPRE (@liberta___depre) January 3, 2026
