Neymar was one of the stars of the Copa America tournament but he could not prevent his team from losing to arch rivals Argentina in the final. Neymar is the Brazilian national team talisman but he was largely kept quiet in the final which was decided by his PSG teammate, Angel Di Maria. The ex-Real Madrid, Manchester United and Benfica winger scored in the first half to hand Argentina the trophy via a 1-0 win.

Brazilian superstar Neymar has been on holiday since the Copa America tournament hosted in his country ended a little over three weeks ago.

Fans were highly critical of his physique when images of him surfaced at the start of this week as he was badly out of shape with the season already underway in France with the Super Cup last week. Neymar was absent as PSG were beaten 1-0 by Lille thanks to the goal from Xeka.

RMC Sports revealed that the images of Neymar looking out of shape is a source of worry for PSG officials.

Neymar is the world’s most expensive signing and he has been seen partying on a yacht while on holiday this summer.

PSG officials would be hoping that Neymar can quickly get back in shape when he returns to training in the coming days. The club has been busy in the transfer market this summer with some quality signings including GianlugiDonnaruma who was named the best player at the Euro 2020 tournament. In addition to Donnaruma, Sergio Ramos, AchraafHakimi and GeorginioWijnaldum are also new signings at PSG.
