Real Madrid forward, Rodrygo, has claimed Neymar wants him to inherit the Brazil No. 10 jersey.
Rodrygo, 21, has made only five appearances for Brazil, but is expected to make the squad to the 2022 World Cup.
“Neymar said to me ‘I’m already leaving the national team and the 10 is yours’.
“I didn’t even know what to say to him. I was embarrassed, I giggled and didn’t even know what to say properly,” Rodrygo told Podpah.
