PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN ace Neymar will allegedly host a New Year’s Eve party for 150 people in Brazil.
The superstar has already been criticised for putting together a five-day celebration despite his homeland’s struggles with the Covid pandemic.

The 28-year-old was said to have had a disco built with noise protection in a mansion in Mangaratiba, according to newspaper O Globo.
CNN Brasil reported that Neymar’s representatives denied the mass celebrations are taking place at all.
But now Agencia Fabrica, the company behind the party, confirmed the event.
But Neymar’s lawyers have since publicly denied any connection with their footballing client.
They told AFP: “No. It’s a matter for the agency and it has nothing to do with Neymar.
“We have no information about such an event.”
Agencia Fabrica had claimed the mass party will be taking place but dismissed reports that around 500 people will attend.
Yet they also revealed that it will adhere to strict health and safety measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

As reported by Goal, a statement read: “Agencia Fabrica clarifies that it is the creator and producer of New Year’s Eve event in the Costa Verde region, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, which will receive approximately 150 people.
“The event will take place in compliance with all health standards determined by public agencies.
“The company also clarifies that the private event, with exclusive access for guests and without ticket sales, happens with all licenses from the competent bodies necessary for its realisation.”
Brazil has been one of the world’s hardest-hit countries during the coronavirus pandemic and its death toll of more than 190,000 puts it behind only the United States in terms of fatalities.
The number of confirmed Covid-19 cases currently stands at 7.5 million, more than any other country apart from the US and India.
While many Brazilian states have banned New Year celebrations and restricted mass gatherings, Rio de Janeiro has not.
Neymar’s lavish parties have made headlines in the past with Ander Herrera admitting his wife banned him from going downstairs at his team-mate’s birthday bash as there were too many single women.
