West Ham could have had Neymar for less than £30m, but he joined Barcelona and became world’s most expensive player

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior aka known as Neymar jr, was born on 5th February, 1992, in Mogi das cruzes, Brazil

Neymar is a Brazilian Football player who plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazil national team

West Ham could have been the first club Neymar would have played for if everything went right a few years back

West Ham was the first club that was interested in the Brazilian player’s skills and made a bid of 12 million in 2010, which was immediately turned down by Santos

However, it was this bid that brought Neymar to everyone’s attention as Chelsea then took interest in the player before other clubs started to move to acquire the Brazilian
