Neymar Set to Return to Santos After Reaching Agreement with Brazilian Club

Posted : 27 January 2025

Neymar is set to return to Brazilian football, with journalist Fabrizio Romano reporting that the 32-year-old has reached an oral agreement to rejoin Santos, the club where he started his career. Santos is still awaiting approval from Al-Hilal, where Neymar has played since August 2023, but the Brazilian forward prefers this move over others. While MLS side Chicago Fire also expressed interest, Neymar chose to return to his home country instead.

 

The two parties are expected to meet soon in hopes of finalizing the deal, with Neymar reportedly set to sign a six-month contract with Santos, which could be extended for another year. If the deal goes through, Neymar could be flying to Brazil later this week and may debut for Santos on February 5. This return to his former club represents a significant move for Neymar as he seeks to rebuild his career ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

 

Neymar is still under contract with Al-Hilal until the end of the Saudi Pro League season, but he will forgo around €65 million to make the move. Al-Hilal, who have not fought to keep the player, gave Neymar permission to leave, especially after a season marred by injuries. Since his arrival in Saudi Arabia, Neymar has played seven matches, scoring once and providing three assists, but his time there has been inconsistent.

 

Santos has been eager to bring Neymar back, offering him a share of merchandise sales and securing sponsorship deals to finance the contract. The Brazilian club’s ambitious push to re-sign their star player comes with the hope of helping him regain form as he eyes the 2026 World Cup, which he has previously indicated will be his last.
