Fueling the return is the fact that Neymar is eager to play at the 2026 World Cup with the Brazilian national team—a dream that seems much more attainable if he competes at the highest European level.
Neymar has been playing for Santos since the start of 2025. With his boyhood club, he has made 21 appearances, scored 6 goals, and provided 3 assists. His current contract with the Brazilian side expires at the end of December, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value is €11 million.
