Neymar, sidelined due to injury, has unveiled a striking new appearance as he looks for ways to pass the time.
The Brazilian forward, who recently became his country’s all-time leading goalscorer, is renowned for his distinctive off-field style.
Known for breaking away from the norm, the 31-year-old has previously sported flamboyant hairstyles during his stints with Santos, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.
Neymar has now opted for a new beginning by revealing on Instagram that he has shaved off all his hair.
Al-Hilal has deregistered Neymar following his unfortunate ACL injury during his 2026 World Cup qualifying duty with Brazil.
Facing several months on the sidelines, there is no immediate place for him in the plans of his Middle Eastern employers, and a lengthy recovery process lies ahead.
Neymar, with just five appearances for Al-Hilal and one goal, is rumoured to be considering a premature end to his spell in Saudi Arabia as he allegedly eyes an emotional return to his roots at Santos.
