On Monday, Neymar, who is recognized as the most expensive footballer in the world, showed his kind-heartedness by fulfilling a young fan’s wish. The football superstar met with eight-year-old Apan Clara, who has been diagnosed with Hutchison-Gilford progeria syndrome, after her viral video request to meet him. The Paris Saint-Germain player promptly responded to the call and was greeted with a massive hug from the little girl upon his arrival.

Apa Clara is a victim of the uncommon genetic disease known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. Recently, the Brazilian international Neymar shared some pictures alongside Apa Clara, where they both held up a T-shirt with the inspiring message “Dream as much as you can, always do. Never give up.” The same message was posted on Neymar’s Instagram account alongside the images. Progeria is a rare genetic condition that only affects one person in eighteen million worldwide. Patients who suffer from this condition may experience symptoms of aging such as hair loss at a young age, and typically, they live until their mid-teens to early twenties.

An eight-year-old girl named Aña Clara created a video requesting the opportunity to meet soccer superstar Messi. According to a noteworthy statistic, both Messi and Neymar Jr., who are teammates at Paris Saint-Germain, have been major players in football over the last decade and continue to dominate the sport.
