In light of this, Neymar himself has been dropping hints that he is preparing for the end of his playing days, although he still has several years to perform at a high level. Interestingly, Neymar has no plans to conclude his career in Saudi football and, according to journalist Ademir Quintino, he is already in talks to return to Brazil.
The source reveals that the player has already made a decision regarding his destination for his return to Brazilian football and is nearing an agreement. Neymar is coming back to Brazilian football
According to the source, with the support of his father and main agent, the number 10 is laying the groundwork to return to Santos, his former club.
To achieve this, Neymar is following a strategy similar to that of his friend Robinho, who returned to Santos just before the 2010 World Cup, aiming to gain prominence:
“In conversations with friends of Neymar Sr. and Neymar Jr., I have received information that they did not sign a four-year contract with the Saudis to return one year before the World Cup, like Robinho did in 2010.”
The journalist states that Neymar’s idea is to leave Al-Hilal in 2025 and return to Santos, with whom he is already in the early stages of an agreement:
“Neymar has approached Santos and made statements expressing his desire to return to the club. I have mutual friends with Neymar, whom I won’t name, but he has a strong desire to return to Santos. Neymar Sr. and Neymar Jr. have told these friends that they did not sign a four-year contract with the Saudis to return to Santos one year before the World Cup. Will it happen? I don’t know.”
