In a move that’s clearly been made ahead of PES 2022’s official announcement this week, Konami has announced that it’s signed up Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar to “become an ambassador for all Konami football games, including eFootball PES 2021: Season Update”. The deal will see the Brazilian superstar (and Fortnite character) feature as part of an Iconic Moment Series within the MyClub mode of the existing game soon.
“I am honoured to have signed a contract with Konami,” the former Barcelona player allegedly said. “I would like to continue playing with passion and stir up much excitement in the world of soccer along with the PES and Winning Eleven series!”
We’re going to assume that he’ll be on the cover of the new game, which means you’ll find him on store shelves next to teammate Kylian Mbappé, who’s on the front of FIFA 22 this year. PSG’s got a decent squad, eh?

@e3aje6aoBek Yeah just the peasants. That wasn't the future King of England at the Euro 2020 final was it?
I think both EA and Konami have scored own goals here. Mbappe had a poor Euro's and Neymar epitomises everything that is wrong with the beautiful game with his diving and play acting. It's a shame really because when he's not rolling around on the floor every time somebody looks at him, he's a really good player.
@Ninjadeath2023 I promise you neither of them care. Neymar and Mbappe are still considered in the top 5 biggest players in the world.
@Jacko11 Neymar probably because he’s Brasil’s talisman. The outlook’s not great when the true great footballers hang it up I can see a spate of “explosive pace” players, etc
A partnership made in heaven…. A flop of a franchise teaming up with a player that flops about the football pitch.
Should have been the GOAT Messi, but Neymar is alright, he is most likely the second best player in the world right now.
@rachetmarvel
Bloody good gymnast though with his floor routine. 😀
@TheIronChimp he does roll with best.
