Santus, his former team, reached out to Neymar, who was reduced to the best "eat and run" in soccer after receiving an astronomical amount of money.
"We will wait until Neymar and his team Al Hilal decide on their future," Santus Chairman Marcelo Theseira told a news conference on the 13th (Korea time). Neymar's contract with Al Hilal will end by June next year.
"We are clear and objective. His father and his staff are aware of the situation," Teseira said. "They know me and know my club. We have to wait because his contract with Al-Hilal is valid."
He added that Neymar would be welcomed if he visits CRB next Sunday. Santos, who already confirmed his return to Brazil's first division (Serie A), will confirm his Serie B title if he wins the CRB on the day.
Neymar was considered the best soccer star produced by Santos since Pele, winning three consecutive Campeonatu Paulista (São Paulo State Football League), winning the Copa Libertadores (South American Continental Champions League) and the top scorer.
Next, when he moved to Spain's prestigious FC Barcelona, he emerged as a soccer star representing world soccer. He moved to Paris Saint-Lermain ahead of the 2017-18 season, breaking the record for the highest transfer fee at the time with 222 million euros.
Later, he received astronomical money and surprised the world by heading to the Saudi Arabian League.
According to the data released by the BBC, Neymar's transfer fee amounted to 78 million pounds (about 139.8 billion won). Al Hilal guaranteed Neymar 2.5 million pounds (about 4.4 billion won) per week for two years, totaling 260 million pounds (about 466.1 billion won). Therefore, it was analyzed that Al Hilal spent 300 million pounds (about 537.7 billion won) on Neymar alone, including the transfer fee and annual salary.
However, a chronic injury problem arose at Al-Hilal, who entered the stadium with the largest amount of money. Neymar played only six games in Al-Hilal uniform. Even with the time added to the game, it takes 428 minutes. He has one goal and three assists in total, and failed to score his debut goal in the Saudi Arabian professional league. 토토사이트
He played as a substitute in the 2024-25 AFC Champions League 2024-25 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League stage Estegral (Iran) at Riyadh Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia on the 5th and left the ground again in 29 minutes complaining of pain in his leg, and was later diagnosed with a knee injury that required rehabilitation.
Al Hilal, who was angered by this, reportedly considered terminating his contract with Neymar, leading to rumors of his return to Santos.
Santos owner Marcio Calves also said, "There are no official negotiations with Neymar at the moment, but it is the dream of every fan to have Neymar return to our club. Neymar and Santos have a great relationship. He started his career here, and his chances of returning depend on his desire and his performance at Al Hilal."
