Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Neymar Jr. is known to indulge lavishly off the field, particularly when it comes to organising parties on various occasions. He has often been on the receiving end of criticism for indulging in off the field antics while neglecting his efforts on the field. Although the COVID-19 spread brought about a halt in his partying habits, he is set to relive the moments with fresh festivities involving 150 people to be hosted in Brazil. Notably, the event is already under the lens.

PSG news: Neymar New Year Party under lens amid Brazil's Coronavirus crisis

A Rio de Janeiro based newspaper O Globo had revealed the details of Neymar’s New Year Party over the weekend. Following the revelations, the former Barcelona man came under immense criticism, with critics slamming his move as being ‘irresponsible’, stating the fact that he himself had contracted the coronavirus a few months back.

The newspaper had claimed that over 500 of Neymar’s friends and celebrities were invited. But the organisers of the event have rubbished the claims, insisting that only 150 people will be called up for the multi-day event which is set to be hosted at Mangaratiba, about 105 km away from the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
