Neymar has been said to be “on the same level as Lionel Messi” and “better than Cristiano Ronaldo”, but a potential transfer has been ruled out.
The Brazilian international striker is considered one of the best talents of his generation, with only the presence of Messi and Ronaldo preventing him from winning a Ballon d’Or. Prestigious personal accolades have now eluded him, with the South American superstar turning 32.
Neymar sees questions looming over his future, having failed to make the desired impact with Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, with a potential move to Inter Miami under discussion – which would put him would see Messi reunited in MLS – as well as a return to his roots at Santos mooted.
A deal could be reached to bring him back to Brazil, but Botafogo’s president said they would not participate in this move. Durcesio Mello claims Neymar’s injuries are now working against him, with another spell of inactivity underway after recently recovering from a 12-month absence due to a knee ligament injury.
Neymar stronger than Cr7
Mello told Resenha Alvinegra if his club would be in the market for Brazil’s all-time top scorer: ”
God forbid. Neymar is one of the greatest players I have ever seen play, he is on the same level as Messi and way better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but he ruined his career which culminated in this injury which lasted a bit over a year, and now he’s injured again. »
Botafogo has ties to Neymar through his sister Rafaella Santos, who is a big fan of the team. However, she posted on social media after learning of Mello’s comments: “ “God forbid”… President Durcesio Mello? THANK GOD Botafogo is MUCH more than a “board of directors”. Joke ! »
