Neymar won't hold back on retirement: "Just relaxing"

Neymar plans to take a year off doing nothing when he retires, prioritizing freedom over obligations after his professional career ends.

In an interview with Varanda Gourmet, 34-year-old Neymar discussed his retirement plans, saying he intends to spend a year without commitments, doing whatever he feels like day-to-day. The Santos forward, whose future at the club remains uncertain, emphasized his desire for freedom after years under the demands of professional football. He also revealed he loves playing football but dislikes watching it on television, recalling how his Barcelona and Paris teammates would spend entire weekends watching matches—something he finds unbearable.
