“I joke with my friends that I will retire when I’m 32. But it’s just a joke. I don’t know,” Neymar said.
“Honestly, I will play until I’m mentally tired. If my mental health is ok and my body as well… Physically, I think I’ll still last a few years. But my mental health is the most important thing.”
