But the former Barcelona star has denied all the claims and insisted that the party had nothing to do with him.
And his lawyers told AFP as quoted by The Sun:
"It's a matter for the agency and it has nothing to do with Neymar. We have no information about such an event."
At the early hours of the New Year, Neymar posted what he was doing on his Instagram handle with the story of him and his son Davi Lucca getting tested for Covid-19.

He showed off his table with the seats given reasonable distance to adhere to coronavirus rules and posted:
"Marvellous decoration for this beautiful, low-key little dinner at home, with social distancing."
Neymar is expected to return to Paris later in January, where he will be greeted by a new manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is tipped to take over from sacked Thomas Tuchel.
