Rodrygo has confirmed that Neymar will soon be leaving the Brazil national team with the Real Madrid winger taking his coveted No.10 shirt when he officially announces his retirement from international football.
Neymar is one of the most successful Brazilian footballers of his generation, having scored 74 goals in 119 caps. However, the Paris Saint-Germain star has never been able to deliver a major trophy for his nation after last year's Copa America final defeat against Argentina and frustration in the World Cup.
It is anticipated that the 30-year-old will play in this year's tournament in Qatar amid suggestions he will quit playing for his country. Rodrygo is one of a number of talented Brazilian players who can play in Neymar's position including Vinicius Jr, Richarlison and Antony.
