Neymar: 'Guardiola almost brought me to Bayern after I won the Puskás'

Neymar tells a story to Podpah about the possibility of moving to Bayern Munich with Guardiola and a very strange story that happened with Pep.

Neymar: "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."

"He shows me a paper, opens his laptop, tells me where I'd play… Pep also said: if you don't score 60 goals in a season, I'll change my name."

"I was saying… okay, but what team? Pep said: 'I can't tell you yet because it's not out yet.' I convinced him, he said: 'I'm signing with Bayern. I know it was a cold city but I will take care of you'".

"In the end I decided to join Barcelona."
