But this isn’t your uncle’s 80s rock mullet. This is the Neymar Mullet —and it is currently the most debated hairstyle in world football. As of his most recent appearances (training with Al-Hilal and posting on social media), Neymar has debuted a sleek, modernized version of the classic "business in the front, party in the back."

Just when you think the Brazilian magician has settled down, he drops a new look that breaks the internet. And his latest style? He has fully embraced the .

If there is one constant in the chaotic, beautiful rollercoaster of Neymar Jr.’s career, it is not his trophies or his transfer fees. It is his hair.

He is 32 years old, still recovering from injury, and currently playing in Saudi Arabia. He has nothing left to prove to the critics. The mullet is his flag in the sand: I am still here, and I am still doing things my way.
