The Santos star Neymar has been part of the Brazilian club's academy since his early childhood, dreaming of playing for this team. He demonstrated his commitment to the club by posting on Instagram a childhood photo where little Ney is posing in a Santos jersey.
The old black-and-white photo shows a very young Neymar in a Santos emblem jersey with a ball under his arm, demonstrating that the Brazilian has been a fan of the club from an early age. Neymar also added white and black heart emojis to the snapshot, highlighting his dedication to the club's colors.
Let's recall that the Brazilian started his career at Santos, where he made his debut in professional football after the academy. It was from there that he moved to Barcelona in 2013 for 88 million euros. And it was here that Neymar returned at the twilight of his career, after an unsuccessful stint in Saudi Arabia.
In his hometown club, the Brazilian managed to regain his former form, which allowed him to receive a call-up to the Brazilian national team for the first time in the last 1.5 years. Moreover, thanks to Neymar's excellent performance at Santos, rumors have started to surface about his potential return to Europe this summer.
