David Neres Campos (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈdejvid ˈnɛɾis]; born 3 March 1997) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Serie A club Napoli.
Neres is a graduate of São Paulo's youth system and was promoted to the first team in 2016. He joined Ajax in January 2017. At Ajax, Neres established himself as one of the best young wingers in Europe, after winning a domestic double and being an instrumental part of Ajax's first UEFA Champions League semi-final appearance in 22 years, in a breakthrough 2018–19 season. The following seasons were marked by continuous injuries, resulting in Neres playing a limited number of games and declining in performances, leading him to move to Shakhtar Donetsk. Due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine that occurred in February, he then transferred to Benfica four months later, where he won the domestic double in his debut season. After two years at the Portuguese club, he joined the Italian side Napoli, winning Serie A in his first season.
After representing Brazil at various youth levels, Neres was called up to the full international team for the first time in March 2019, and was part of the squad that won the 2019 Copa América.
