When Paris Saint-Germain more than doubled the world transfer record for Neymar in August, everyone in the football world was stunned.

It wasn’t just the fact that Neymar wanted to leave Barcelona for PSG, but also the sheer amount of money involved that made it look mind boggling.

Although, if anyone was going to be involved in a transfer this colossal and ground-breaking, it makes sense that it was Neymar.

That, because from his earliest playing days, Neymar was viewed as the ‘chosen one’, the boy who would save Brazilian football.

And his journey from a young footballer at Santos to a world record transfer signing is explained in detail in this video (below) on uMAXit Football’s official YouTube channel.
