Neymar has reportedly asked not to be called up for the Brazil national team until 2025.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward is said to have made the request to focus on his club career, according to ESPN Brazil.
Neymar has been a key player for Brazil since making his debut in 2010, but he has been plagued by injuries in recent years.
Neymar's request comes as the Brazil national team is preparing for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Selecao are one of the favorites to win the tournament, but they will be without their star player if Neymar's request is granted.
It is unclear why Neymar has made this request, but it is possible that he is feeling the pressure of playing for both club and country.
Neymar has been in excellent form for PSG this season, scoring 11 goals in 14 appearances.
However, he has also been criticized for his performances for Brazil, and he was booed by fans during a recent friendly match against Argentina.
Brazil coach Tite is yet to comment on Neymar's request.
However, it is likely that he will be disappointed if Neymar is not available for the World Cup.
Neymar is one of the best players in the world, and his absence would be a major blow to Brazil's chances of winning the tournament.
