Bequeathing everything you own to a multimillionaire football player is not everyone's idea of a good cause. But

In Brazil, football drives you crazy. We already knew it but it is confirmed a little more every day. On Wednesday, the Brazilian media Metropoles echoed a surprising story. One fan, anonymized, said that beyond his love for the national team and the entire legacy of Brazilian football, he completely identified with his idol, PSG player Neymar, which led him to officially name the Brazilian striker in his will as his heir.

"I like Neymar, I identify with him a lot. I'm also very family-oriented and the relationship with his father reminds me a lot of mine with my father, who passed away," the thirty-year-old fan said in an interview with the local site. "I'm not very healthy and, for that reason, I really saw that I had no one to leave my belongings to... I wouldn't want the government or parents I don't get along with to take my business," he said.

The testament of the Neymar fan.

The 30-year-old Auriverde supporter also revealed that he has tried - in vain - to give his property to the Brazilian international, but that the will was a legal way to do so and that the document was signed by a notary office in Porto Alegre. "I know that, above all, he is not greedy, which is quite rare these days," said the generous fan.

For the record, Neymar Jr. is one of the highest paid sportsmen in the world, with estimated revenues of $ 85 million for 2023 according to Forbes magazine.
