Breathtaking property in the paradise resort of Mangaratiba also features sauna, massage room, spa and jacuzzi along with an underground cellar with space for 3,000 bottles of wine
CROCKED striker Neymar will fight to get fit for the World Cup in this spectacular six-bed mansion near Rio... which features its own helipad.
The Brazil superstar rested at the £6million villa in the paradise resort of Mangaratiba overnight after jetting home from Paris for surgery.
And after an op on a broken metatarsal in his right foot tomorrow at Mater Dei Hospital in Belo Horizonte, he will return to the home he bought in October 2016 and first used during a Christmas break two months later.
The mansion is built on a two-and-a-half acre plot on an upmarket gated estate called Portobello.
And as well as the helipad and jetty, boasts a gym, tennis court, sauna, massage room, spa and jacuzzi along with an underground cellar with space for 3,000 bottles of wine.
Neymar’s neighbours include footballer Emerson Sheik and Brazilian Emmy-nominated actress Adriana Esteves.
A local described the property as a “dream home” when it first emerged Neymar had bought it.
He showed off the swimming pool of the mansion on Instagram soon after he made the multi-million pound purchase by posting a photo of himself with friends in the water alongside the caption: “In life people only need love and friends.”
The villa is a short drive from famous Angra Dos Reis, a popular getaway for Rio residents and a beautiful mirage of 365 islands.
Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar has said the £198m Paris Saint-Germain star - the most expensive footballer in the world - will need up to three months to recover and Brazil play their opening World Cup match in Russia on June 17 against Switzerland.
But Brazil’s physical trainer Fabio Mahseredian said he was sure the footballer would be OK for the tournament.
He said: “First he’s an athlete that looks after himself.
“Secondly he doesn’t have weight problems and doesn’t put on weight easily and that’s a very favourable factor.
“Thirdly he’s a young person. The time he’s got is enough to make sure he’s ready for his country’s first World Cup game.”
