Neymar and Gabriel Jesus, two Brazilian players, have a lot in common.
The two, who are both from Sao Paulo, not only share a similar upbringing but also a similar philosophy on football and the capacity to outmanoeuvre defenders and create unbelievable goals out of nothing.
And after Neymar posted a photo of their identical tattoos on Instagram, it appears that the Samba players share the same taste in ink.The Barcelona striker flaunted his amazing tattoo from December of a young Brazilian youngster with a cap gazing up into the favela slums of Sao Paulo and dreaming of having a house, becoming a football player, and winning the Champions League.3Nеymаɾ а𝚗Ԁ Gаbɾιеl Jеsus Һаᴠе mаtcҺι𝚗ɡ tаttσσsCɾеԀιt: Gеtty Imаɡеs
Jesus asked tattoo artist Miguel Bohigues to ink his forearm with a nearly identical design after being clearly fascinated by Neymar’s body art.
Ironically hailed as “the next Neymar,” the 19-year-old explosive attacker is expected to join with Manchester City following the Olympics.
Although Neymar attempted to convince his fellow countryman to join him at the Spanish powerhouses, the forward for Palmeiras is unable to resist playing for City manager Pep Guardiola.
Though they will have to wait until after the Olympics to witness the intriguing talent playing at the Etihad, Manchester City hopes to conclude the deal in the coming days.
