Later, the sports star went shopping with his pals and was stopped by fans at the Dolce & Gabanna store in the city's Village Mall.

Neymar sported a black top for the outing along with blue slim-fitting ripped jeans and a black printed cap.

It comes after the footballer was accused of rape by a Brazilian model who said he assaulted her in a Paris hotel.

Najila Trindade arrived at a police station to continue her deposition with a new lawyer, the fourth to represent her since she filed charges against the Paris St-Germain player on May 31.

Her lawyer Cosme Araujo said they 'want to find the truth'.

Neymar has denied the accusation and testified to the police earlier this month.

The player is also being investigated for publishing images of his accuser on social media without her authorisation.
