Neymar’s stint at Al-Hilal appears to be over, as the club no longer counts on him. A sentimental return to his boyhood club Santos is reportedly in the works, but the winger’s comeback will not just be as a player.
Details: According to L’Equipe, the 32-year-old is planning to join Santos with an investment group. Together, Neymar will become a part-owner of the club, gaining significant influence over its development and future. The extent of the financial impact on Santos, which recently returned to the top tier of Brazilian football, remains unclear.
Reminder: Neymar began his professional career at Santos before moving to Barcelona in 2013. From 2013 to 2017, he played for the Catalan side before joining PSG in a record €222 million transfer. Since August 2023, he has been with Saudi club Al-Hilal, making just two appearances this season.
