Neymar relocated to So Vicente with his family in 2003, when he started competing for the Portuguesa Santista youth team. Later that year, they relocated to Santos, where Neymar signed a contract. The family purchased their first home, a house close to Vila Belmiro, Santos’ home stadium, thanks to the success of his youth career and additional cash.

As Neymar’s income increased from 10,000 reais per month at age 15 to 125,000 reais per month at age 16, their quality of family life also improved. He earned his first full-time professional contract at age 17, was promoted to the Santos first squad, and started securing his first sponsorships.

Neymar started playing football at a young age and was quickly noticed by Santos, who made him an offer in 2003. He was then accepted into their junior system, which had previously produced Brazilian internationals like Coutinho, Clodoaldo, Diego, Elano, and Alex. In beginning his career at the team known as Peixe, he also joined players like Pepe, Pelé, and Robinho. Neymar and Paulo Henrique Ganso met in the youth academy and grew close friends as a result.

At the time, Real Madrid featured talents like Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Roberto Carlos, and Robinho. Neymar, then 14 years old, traveled to Spain to try out for the Real Madrid youth team. However, he left Madrid because his father had made the decision that it would be best for the young phenom to continue developing while playing for Santos at the time.

Despite just being 17 years old, Neymar made his professional debut on March 7, 2009. In a 2-1 victory over Oeste, he was added for the final 30 minutes. He scored his first goal for Santos against Mogi Mirim the following week. A month later, on April 11, Neymar scored the game-winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Palmeiras in the first leg of the 2009 Campeonato Paulista semifinal. However, Santos lost to Corinthians in the championship game 4-2 on the road. Neymar scored 14 goals in 48 appearances during his first campaign.

Neymar tied for third place among all scorers with six goals during Santos’ journey to the 2011 Copa Libertadores Finals. In a 5-4 loss to Flamengo in the Brasileiro Série A, he received the 2011 FIFA Puskas Award for his lone goal. He joined Diego Maradona, Romario, Pelé, and Zico in winning the 2011 South American Footballer of the Year award for the first time on December 31, 2011, by a record margin.

Santos revealed that they received two offers for Neymar on May 24, 2013. The next day, Neymar declared he would join Barcelona on May 27, 2013, following his participation in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. Other than to indicate he signed a five-year contract, neither Neymar nor the clubs disclosed information about the transfer fee or personal clauses.

After passing his physical examinations and signing a deal that would keep him with the team through June 2018, Neymar was introduced by Barcelona on June 3, 2013. A record-breaking crowd of 56,500 spectators watched Neymar be introduced at Camp Nou.

Neymar had a €57.1 million transfer fee and a €190 million release clause, according to club vice president Josep Maria Bartomeu at first. Barcelona’s physician recommended that he might need to put on weight in order to be physically ready to compete in Spanish football.

In the 63rd minute of Barcelona’s 7-0 victory over Levante in the opening game of the 2013–14 La Liga season, Neymar made his professional debut for the club.

He replaced Alexis Sánchez. Neymar’s late goal helped Barcelona defeat Sevilla 2-0 in the 2016 Copa del Rey Final at the Vicente Calderón on May 22, 2016, as the team celebrated capturing the domestic double for the second straight season after their treble triumph the season before. With 131 goals combined, Messi, Suárez, and Neymar’s front three broke the mark they had previously established for the most goals scored by an offensive trio in a single season.

Neymar scored two goals and provided an assist for Sergi Roberto’s game-winning goal during the final seven minutes of Barcelona’s 6-1 triumph over Paris Saint-Germain in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League round of 16. As a result of his heroics, Neymar was voted man of the match. This second leg game marked the best comeback in Champions League history after overturning the 4-0 setback to PSG in the first leg on February 14, 2017.

In his 177th game for the team, on April 2, 2017, Neymar scored his 100th goal for Barcelona, helping the team defeat Granada 4-1. Neymar scored in the 2017 Copa del Rey Final on May 27 to help Barcelona defeat Alavés 3-1 at the Vicente Calderón in Madrid, marking his 105th goal for the team.

Neymar signed a deal with Paris Saint-Germain in France that would keep him there through 2022. Javier Pastore presented him with the number 10 shirt as a “welcome gift.” On August 13, 2017, Neymar made his debut with Les Rouge-et-Bleu, helping to set up another goal in a 3-0 victory over Guingamp.

In a game that saw the referee issue 14 yellow cards and 5 red cards, including one to Neymar, PSG suffered their first Le Classique defeat since 2011 as OM triumphed 1-0.

Paris Saint-Germain was defeated by Manchester City in the semifinals of the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League. Neymar missed PSG’s victory against Barcelona, but he was present for both of the matches against Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals and both of the matches against Man City in the semifinals. He extended his agreement with PSG till 2025 on May 8. In a 5-0 victory over Metz on May 21, 2022, he scored his 100th goal for PSG.

He had competed in numerous competitions at both the senior and youth levels for his native Brazil. For a friendly match against the United States on July 26, 2010, Neymar was chosen for the Brazil senior team.
