“I Want to Sign You and Make You the Best” – Neymar Recalls Guardiola’s Offer
Neymar has shared an interesting story about how Pep Guardiola once tried to sign him for Bayern Munich and even made a bold promise to him.
The Brazilian forward revealed that after winning the Puskás Award, he was nearly convinced to move to the Bundesliga because of Guardiola’s influence.
“I almost went to Bayern because of Pep Guardiola. After I won the Puskás Award, my dad kept calling me at 2 AM. When I finally answered, he told me to open the door. I was in my boxers,” Neymar recalled.
To his surprise, his father was standing there with Guardiola and a translator. The legendary coach wasted no time and got straight to the point.
“Pep told me, ‘I want to sign you and take you with me wherever I go. I will make you the best player in the world,’” Neymar said.
Guardiola even brought a laptop, showing Neymar exactly where he would fit into his plans. Then he added a humorous challenge: “If you don’t score 60 goals in a season, I’ll change my name.”
At that moment, Neymar was intrigued but still uncertain. When he asked which club Guardiola was talking about, Pep couldn’t reveal it yet.
“I convinced him to tell me, and he finally said, ‘I’m signing with Bayern. I know it’s a cold city, but I’ll take care of you.’”
In the end, Neymar chose Barcelona instead, a decision that shaped his career. Since then, he has played for PSG and now Al-Hilal.
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
