Brazilian Star Neymar Reveals That He Had Almost Signed For Bayern Munich Due To Pep Guardiola
In a shocking revelation, Brazilian forward Neymar has confessed that he was tantalizingly close to joining Bayern Munich in 2013, primarily due to the allure of working under the tactical genius of Pep Guardiola.
In an interview, Neymar disclosed that Guardiola was deeply impressed by the Brazilian striker and revealed that he wanted to bring Neymar to whichever club he was going to manage in the future.
"I almost went to Bayern… because of Pep Guardiola. After I won the Puskás Award, my dad kept calling me at 2AM. I answered, he told me to open the door…. I was in boxers. It was my dad, Pep Guardiola and the translator!". "Pep told me: I want to sign you and bring you with me, to whatever club I go to. I will make you the best player in the world."
Neymar, who was then playing at Santos in Brazil, revealed that advanced talks had taken place between his representatives and Bayern Munich. The German giants were eager to secure the services of the talented youngster, who was already making waves in the football world with his dazzling skills.
However, fate had other plans, and Neymar ultimately opted to join Barcelona instead, linking up with Guardiola's former club. The Brazilian's decision was influenced by the presence of his idol, Lionel Messi, and the opportunity to play alongside him at the Camp Nou.
