Neymar revealed a dramatic new hairstyle as he recovers from a ruptured ACL that cut short his season prematurely. On Instagram, the Brazilian player posted an image of his fresh look. The £130 million-a-year star has returned to Brazil to rehabilitate after joining Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal from PSG.
The South American star, who is now his country’s all-time leading goalscorer, has become as well known for his appearance off the pitch as for his accomplishments on it. The 31-year-old enjoys standing out from the crowd and is not scared to deviate from the usual.
Neymar revealed a shaved new style on his Instagram story, which has left everyone spellbound. With his beard shaved and his hair trimmed almost to the scalp. Neymar has had several interesting haircuts throughout his time at Santos, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal.
Despite his high-profile transfer, Neymar’s latest injury setback comes after a rocky start to life in the Middle East. Brazil’s star completed a £78 million move to Saudi Arabia from PSG in August, signing a two-year agreement for £130 million each season. However, he sustained an injury when playing for Brazil in their 2-0 World Cup qualifying loss to Uruguay last month.
What the future holds for Neymar as he recovers from his major injury is unknown. Al-Hilal has deregistered Neymar after he suffered the ACL injury while representing Brazil. The Saudi Pro League (SPL) rules indicate that each team can only have eight non-Saudi players on their roster. Al-Hilal manager Jorge Jesus wants to add a foreign left back to his squad in January.
