Neymar has officially joined Puma following a 15-year partnership with Nike.
"At the beginning of each new season, I take some time to think about my career and the choices I have made. I think about the dreams I had when I started this sport, and the path that lies ahead.
"This will be a different season, a special season. For that reason, as I have done in the past, I decided to write this text," wrote Neymar on Twitter.
Neymar spoke of his ambitions to wear the company's KING boot.
"New challenges, new responsibilities, I understand that. I wish to bring back the legacy that those athletes created on the pitch. I was to help bring back memories from each of their football histories and the magic they gave us in their classic leather boots -- and through boots like those, leave behind my own legacy. They each played in PUMA, and each of them created their magic in The KING.
"And so now, as I begin this new season, I want the KING to reign on the pitch and inspire generations as it has inspired me and others.
