“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.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
