Summary
- Neymar tearfully announced his international career has ended.
- He leaves Brazil as the nation's all-time top scorer with 80 goals.
- Neymar is reportedly considering retiring from club football entirely.
Neymar has announced the end of his international football career. This decision follows Brazil's surprising elimination from the World Cup in the round of 16. The emotional announcement came after the match, with Neymar stating, "Everything started here and ends here. It's over."
He retires from international duty as Brazil's all-time leading scorer, having netted 80 goals and surpassing Pelé's record. This marks a significant turning point for the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star.
Beyond his international departure, Neymar's future in club football is now a major question. Reports indicate he feels "tired of the world of football" and is seriously considering early retirement. His current contract with Santos is set to expire on December 31st, potentially leading to an early termination if he decides to hang up his boots permanently.
