The forward from Saudi Arabia has been linked with a surprising return to his old team Barcelona. He is said to be close to making a deal to buy Japao Private Island.
This tropical haven is on six acres and is in the southwest of Rio de Janeiro state, near the port town of Angra dos Reis.

The island is in a bay with more than 365 other islands, and it has its own beautiful beach.
On the grounds, there is a main villa in the Indonesian style with two master bedrooms, a koi fish pond, and three bungalows with views of the sea.

Neymar is said to be interested in it because its Canadian owner lowered the price by more than £3 million to sell it quickly.
Overnight, Brazilian reporter Leo Dias said that football player Sheikh Muhammad Binghatti and the famous real estate investor Sheikh Muhammad Binghatti had paid more than £40,000 to rent the island for a “test drive” later this month.
A lot of famous people have stayed on the island in the past, like Bruna Marquezine, who used to be married to Neymar.
You can only get to the high-end hideaway by boat or chopper. It has room for up to 10 people.
It takes about 35 minutes to get there by helicopter from Rio de Janeiro’s International Airport.
The main website for the island calls it “a world of its own” and says, “In an archipelago of 365 islands, we’ve mastered the art of standing out while blending in.”
In an online review, a recent tourist said, “The magical island landscape and wide views of the ocean make this a truly unique spot to get some peace and quiet.”
Neymar already owns a six-bedroom house with a helipad, gym, tennis court, and jetty. The mansion is in Mangaratiba, a paradise resort on the Green Coast, an hour’s drive east of Angra dos Reis.
The house is on a two-and-a-half-acre lot in the posh Portobello gated estate. It has a helipad and jetty, as well as a sauna, massage room, spa, heated jacuzzi, and an underground cellar that can hold 3,000 bottles of wine.

In December 2021, Brazilian tabloid Em Off said that the football player had spent more than £2,500,000 on a glass-fronted palace on a private closed estate in Alphaville, which is near Sao Paulo.
At the time, it was said to be a seven-bedroom house with a squash court, a huge swimming pool, a panoramic lift between floors, and a garage big enough for twenty cars.

Neymar, who is 32 years old, signed a two-year deal with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia in August of last year. He had previously played for Paris Saint-Germain for six years.
Earlier this week, it was said that Barcelona is thinking about making a surprise move for their old forward, if they can’t get Erling Haaland from Manchester City first.
