PSG news: Neymar New Year Party under lens amid Brazil's Coronavirus crisis

A Rio de Janeiro based newspaper O Globo had revealed the details of Neymar’s New Year Party over the weekend. Following the revelations, the former Barcelona man came under immense criticism, with critics slamming his move as being ‘irresponsible’, stating the fact that he himself had contracted the coronavirus a few months back.

The newspaper had claimed that over 500 of Neymar’s friends and celebrities were invited. But the organisers of the event have rubbished the claims, insisting that only 150 people will be called up for the multi-day event which is set to be hosted at Mangaratiba, about 105 km away from the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
