Neymar’s money trucks and camels – 08/14/2023 – Sandro Macedo

The main animal in Saudi Arabia is the camel. Camels have long eyelashes to protect their eyes from desert dust. They also eat anything they find there, even cacti. Finally, for those who like to quote the Bible, there is this one, said by Jesus: it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

These incredible curiosities about the ungulate animal are to help fans of the influencer Neymar to bring up a subject on the great network, in case he really confirms his transfer to Al Hilal, the Arab team coached by Jesus — not the one in the previous paragraph, but, yes, Jorge, the one who is a saint in Flamengo. The club change is taken almost for granted by European vehicles and has even been mentioned by the Italian football market specialist Fabrizio Romano.

On Romano’s profile, the big transfer news of the day or week is pinned to the top of the page. The current one is not that of Neymar, but that of Moisés Caicedo, the young Ecuadorian midfielder who plays for Brighton, had a great year in 2022 (including the Qatar Cup), attracted the attention of the Premier League giants and should sign before the end of the window with Chelsea for a small fortune — curious how the defensive midfielders became so valued (Enzo Fernández, Declan Rice, Bellingham…).

By the way, the blue team from London would also have made an offer for Neymar. It would be the player’s opportunity to try to stand out in the world’s top league. Another rumor also put Newcastle in the path of the former Santos player, but this one seemed just a rumor. It even looked like a good idea, since the team is from the Premier League, is in the Champions League and was bought by Saudi Arabia. It would be to unite the useful money to the pleasant competition.

The value of the alleged negotiation for Neymar changes drastically according to the source. What is certain is that he would earn truckloads and truckloads of money, enough to become one of the great camel owners in the world if he invested in the animal.

Such a transfer from Arabia would make Neymar, the father, happier than a Bedouin in the waterfall. Anyone who saw the Netflix documentary series (“Neymar – The Perfect Chaos”) must remember that dad called Jr. more of a “brand” than a “son”, which says a lot.

For those who only like the 31-year-old’s football, if the switch from Europe to the Middle East really comes to fruition, it will be the sad end of his high-performance career in the world’s top leagues. Instead of being the sporting substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi (who preferred the money in Miami, closer to home), Neymar would be choosing, with years less, to join them, with a lot of money, a lot of shade and a lot of water fresh, for the player and the camels.

Lucas + James = Rai?
In the distant 1998, times when the Paulista Championship was still important, São Paulo and Corinthians played in the final in two games. Corinthians won the first one, by 2 to 1. And, right at the time of the decisive match, Raí appeared as an unexpected reinforcement, arriving from Paris Saint-Germain. His great performance made the Morumbi team win 3-1 and win the title.

A quarter of a century later, history can (almost) repeat itself. For the Copa do Brasil (more important than Paulista), Corinthians won the first match of the semifinal by the same 2-1. This Wednesday (16), São Paulo will count on Lucas Moura and James Rodríguez, newcomers from Europe, for the return match at home. Okay, it’s still not the title, but it would be a vacant millionaire in the final.

In the other duel, Jorge Sampaoli has an apparently calm mission, with Flamengo being able to lose by a goal against Grêmio, in Maracanã. But, if there is a technician currently capable of getting complicated, it is the Argentine mister.
