Neymar channeled his inner Austin Powers as he attended his friend’s hippie-themed birthday bash.
The Paris Saint-Germain striker was in Sao Paulo for surfer pal Gabriel Medina’s 26th birthday – and dressed to impress.
The Brazilian wore a floral shirt and silver flares topped with an orange bandana and glasses similar to those worn by the late John Lennon.
Time 24 reports that the birthday boy sent an invitation with psychedelic design, with strict instructions that “guests can’t invite”.
Despite his “new look”, there was no getting away from the paparazzi for the 27-year-old as he made his entrance to the groovy celebration.
Fellow footballer Nene of Fluminense was also one of the invited guests.
And once the partying has stopped, the striker will once again have a think about his own future.
Reports in Spain continually link him with a move back to Barcelona – the club who sold him for a then-record £198 million to PSG.
And Mundo Deportivo claims they will look to exploit a transfer clause which will allow them to pay £44 million less than what they sold him for.
He has since scored 59 goals in 69 matches while winning two Ligue 1 titles, one French Cup, one League Cup, and one Champions Trophy.
However, it’s believed Neymar is desperate to leave the Parc des Princes.
And Barcelona areunderstood to be lining up a deal to bring the Brazilian back to the Nou Camp.
Mundo Deportivo claims Catalan chiefs are aiming to strike a deal for Neymar in the summer after he’s completed his third season in France.
And because the forward has no intention of signing a new PSG contract, as well as the time he’s spent in France – designed by FIFA as the “Protected Period” – Neymar can request a move.
It’s reckoned he can actually trigger a clause worth £154 million to secure a return to Barcelona, with the fee calculated by variables such as his current market value – which has greatly depreciated – and salary from the fourth year of his contract, which is around £20 million.
Gabriel Medina, the former surfing champ, decided on a special themed party.
