🚨🇩🇪 Neymar: “I almost went to Bayern… because of Pep Guardiola. After I won the Puskás Award, my dad kept calling me at 2AM. I answered, he told me to open the door…. I was in boxers. It was my dad, Pep Guardiola and the translator!”.
“Pep told me: I want to sign you and bring you with me, to whatever club I go to. I will make you the best player in the world”
“He shows me a paper, opens his laptop, tells me where I’d play… Pep also said: if you don’t score 60 goals in a season, I’ll change my name”.
“I was saying… okay, but what team? Pep said: I can’t tell you yet because it’s not out yet. I convinced him, he said: I’m signing with Bayern. I know it was a cold city but I will take care of you”.
“In the end I decided to join Barcelona”.
