The player has recently experienced a major personal trauma. In March 2026, he was the victim of an assault and kidnapping at his home in Rome. "We went through moments of fear. We were afraid, but now we are fine," he said after this incident that marked his entourage, although no one was physically injured.

Passionate about football to the point of neglecting tennis, Neil El Aynaoui grew up with the image of Andrés Iniesta. Having lived in Barcelona during his childhood, he does not hide his admiration for the Catalan club and its former captain. "I am a modern midfielder, with good endurance and the ability to play anywhere in midfield," according to MARCA.
