Neymar’s jet 'forced to declare emergency after leaving Barbados' as PSG star and sister head back to Brazil | The Sun

NEYMAR’S private jet has been forced into an emergency landing after leaving Barbados.

It was heading back to the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward’s homeland from Barbados earlier today.





Several reports claim that the aircraft, owned and used by the world’s most-expensive footballer, landed safely in the north east of Brazil following the scare.

It remains unclear whether Neymar was onboard the flight when the worrying incident occurred.

However, he had earlier shared a snap of himself and his sister Rafaella posing on a runway next to a plane.

And then he uploaded a photo from inside an aircraft overlooking Miami as they headed back from holiday in the USA.

Neymar, Rafaella and the player’s girlfriend Bruna Biancardi had been spotted enjoying the sunshine earlier this week on the beach in Miami.

That was after the former Barcelona star had played poker in Las Vegas and partied with the Golden State Warriors in Sin City after their NBA championship success.

Neymar has previously splashed out £10.8m to buy the Embraer Legacy 450 aircraft – although it is unknown whether this is the one involved in this incident.

The PSG man, who also owns his own Batman-style helicopter, is able to carry up to eight other passengers with him on it.

Like the player himself, this speedy plane can cover up to 531 miles an hour.

It can also muster 2,900 nautical miles in one go on a single tank.

The jet's neatest feature is its enhanced flight vision system, which boasts an infrared camera.

Neymar headed to America with his loved ones after helping PSG to win another French league title.

He then linked up with the Brazil squad for international duty, adding another three goals to his impressive tally.

He found the net twice in the 5-1 win over South Korea before notching another in the 1-0 victory against Japan.

That moved him to 74 goals in total for Brazil – just three behind the nation’s legendary all-time leading scorer Pele.
