Neymar has found himself entangled in new paternity issues yet again.
Neymar is facing a new paternity claim from a former Hungarian model. Gabriella Gaspar, who had a brief affair with the footballer in 2013, has requested that Neymar undergo a DNA test to determine if he is the father of her 10-year-old daughter, Jazmin Zoe.
The request for a DNA test comes amidst a period of personal and professional upheaval for Neymar.
Earlier this year, the 32-year-old player made headlines when he requested a DNA test to verify the pregnancy of his then-partner, Amanda Kimberlly, who recently gave birth to their daughter Helena in July.

This followed his previous relationship with Bruna Biancardi, which ended shortly after the birth of their daughter Mavie last October.
According to reports from O'Globo, Gaspar's claim centers around a 2013 affair she had with Neymar during his international duties with Brazil in Santa Cruz de La Sierra, Bolivia.
The model alleges that their brief relationship resulted in the birth of Jazmin Zoe. Gaspar has now taken legal action in Brazil, seeking to confirm Neymar’s paternity through a court-ordered DNA test.

The case has taken a complicated turn, with Gaspar's legal representatives indicating that they have already sent Jazmin Zoe's genetic material to Brazil for testing.
Neymar has reportedly already provided his own genetic material for analysis in Belo Horizonte, and the outcome of the test could have significant financial implications.
Gaspar's legal team is not only seeking confirmation of paternity but is also demanding substantial financial support from Neymar.
Should the tests confirm him as Jazmin’s father, Gaspar is requesting a monthly payment of £25,685,(4.2M) as well as a back-dated sum covering the past 10 years of Jazmin's life.

Chelsea close to securing another big-money signing in exciting transfer move
Chelsea continue to splash cash this summer transfer window and are about to agree a deal for an exciting winger from Wolves.
The situation is further complicated by Neymar's recent high-profile moves and controversies.
In August 2023, Neymar transferred to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal in a record-breaking £78 million deal (KSH12.8B), but his debut season has been marred by injuries, including a serious knee injury that has limited his appearances.
Neymar’s representatives have stated that the paternity investigation is being handled confidentially, with no further details available at this time.
The footballer’s legal team has emphasized that they cannot provide additional information while the investigation is ongoing.
The ongoing case highlights the intersection of Neymar's high-profile career and personal life, with Gaspar’s claim adding another layer to the Brazilian star's complex private affairs.
