Neymar faces spiritual exorcism claims and splurges on $5.5 million watch in US

Brazilian football star Neymar, who has been left out of Brazil's recent World Cup 2026 matches – a 3‑0 win over Scotland and a 2‑1 victory against Japan – was the subject of a sensational claim by self‑declared psychic Márcia Sensitiva. She said his on‑field issues are "spiritual" and suggested he needs an exorcism to remove negative electromagnetic energy surrounding him.

During a break from the tournament, Neymar traveled to New York and purchased a Jacob & Co. "Green Astronomia Dragon & Tiger II" watch valued at roughly R$ 5.5 million (about $5.5 million). The timepiece features a 44 mm rose‑gold case encrusted with baguette‑cut diamonds and miniature sculpted tiger and dragon figures, highlighting the athlete's long‑standing association with the luxury brand.

Both stories underline the star's off‑field profile amidst Brazil's World Cup campaign.
