Brazilian superstar Neymar has seemingly hinted at when he will retire from international football.
Neymar has been plagued by injuries since joining Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal in August 2023 from Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite Al Hilal signing him for a club-record fee of €90 million (R1.7 billion), the club has yet to see a full return on their investment, as Neymar has made only seven appearances for the side in all competitions to date, according to Transfermarkt.
With injuries having somewhat derailed his club and international career in recent years, the 32-year-old has now hinted at when he might hang up his boots for the Brazil national team.
Speaking about the possibility of representing his country at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, Neymar told CNN:"I will try, I want to be there. I will do everything I can to be part of the national team.
"I know this will be my last World Cup, my last shot, my last chance, and I will do everything I can to play in it."
The former PSG talisman also discussed the prospect of reuniting with his former FC Barcelona teammates Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi at Inter Miami. Neymar added:"Obviously, playing again with Messi and Suarez would be incredible. They are my friends, we still speak to each other.
"It would be interesting to revive this trio. I'm happy at Al Hilal, I'm happy in Saudi Arabia, but who knows. Football is full of surprises.
"When the news came out that I was leaving Paris St Germain, the transfer window was closed in the United States, so I didn't have this option (of moving to Miami in 2023).
"The project they offered me (in Saudi Arabia) was very good, not just for me but also for my family, so going to Saudi Arabia was the best option."
