Neymar, who currently plays for Santos, was involved in a heated clash during a training session with the son of a former footballer.
Details: According to Ge, Robinho’s 18-year-old son was training with Santos when the altercation occurred. The youngster dribbled past Neymar, which triggered the reaction from the Brazilian star.
Neymar lunged at the 18-year-old and kicked him. The teenager got back up and pushed Neymar in response. The situation escalated further, with Neymar ultimately slapping Robinho’s son across the face.
Reminder: A major scandal is brewing within the Santos squad. The issue is that an increasing number of team members are expressing dissatisfaction with the behaviour of 34-year-old Neymar.
This situation puts Neymar's contract renewal in doubt, as his current deal expires at the end of this year. So far this season, Neymar has played 10 matches, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists.
