According to the latest report from Italian legend Fabrizio Romano, Brazilian king Neymar has returned to the Brazilian Liga to join the academy parent club Santos.

Saudi Super League giants Riyadh Crescent have just announced that they have ended their contract with Neymar six months ahead of schedule and terminated it amicably. Fabrizio Romano then said that Neymar would return to Brazil for a medical examination and join Santos.

Neymar came through the Santos academy and was promoted to the first team in January 2009 before joining Barcelona in La Liga in the summer of 2013 for a whopping €88 million transfer fee. During his time at Santos, Neymar made 225 appearances in all competitions, scoring a staggering 136 goals and providing 64 assists, and is known as the new superstar of samba football!

Neymar is full of talent, the first person after the active player Messi, but Neymar plays too fancy, too many injuries and a money-loving character, the money is earned, but he has not completed the achievement of the third active player in the world. Neymar chose to leave the top five leagues in the summer window of 2023 and joined Riyadh Crescent from Paris for a transfer fee of 90 million euros, but the long-term injury only made 7 appearances for the team, contributed 1 goal and 3 assists, and the annual salary was as high as 100 million euros, and Neymar received at least 150 million euros in salary during one and a half years in Riyadh Crescent.

Now Neymar has chosen to return to the Brazilian league and return to his parent team, Santos, perhaps in order to better prepare for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and playing football in Brazil is more conducive to recovery and maintaining physical and mental health. This also means that the 32-year-old Neymar is approaching the end of his career and may retire earlier than Ronaldo and Messi, so he can only sigh.
