Neymar is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, with earnings estimated at $85 million in 2023, but one fan said he couldn’t think of a more worthy recipient of his worldly goodies than the Brazilian footballer.

According to Reuters, the anonymous fan said that apart from his love for the national team, he identified with Neymar, which led him to officially name the PSG player in his will.

“I like Neymar, I identify with him a lot. I too suffer from defamation, I am also very family oriented and the relationship with his father reminds me a lot of my relationship with my father who passed away.

I’m not in very good health, and because of that I really saw that I had no one to leave my things with… I wouldn’t want the government or relatives I don’t get along with to take my things.

I know that, first of all, Neymar is not greedy, which is somewhat rare these days,” said the fan in an interview with local media Metropoles.

The 30-year-old fan added that he had previously tried (unsuccessfully) to transfer his assets to the Brazilian player, but a will was the legal way to do it and the document was signed by a notary in Porto Alegre.
