Neymar returns to Santos to write a new chapter
SANTOS, BRAZIL. – Neymar’s return to Santos is official. The club’s president, Marcelo Teixeira, confirmed the news through a video posted on social media, where he celebrated the return of the Brazilian star to the club where he started his football career. After 12 years, Neymar returns to revive his magic at Vila Belmiro, the very place where he first dreamed big.
“Welcome, ‘menino’ Ney! Child of the Vila! The Santos nation is waiting for you with open arms,” said Teixeira, as Neymar prepares to be the key piece in the club’s rebuilding process.
Return after his time in Saudi Arabia
After a brief stint at Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, where he played just seven matches, Neymar returns to Brazil with hopes of regaining his form after several injuries and conflicts at his previous club. The length of his contract with Santos has not been confirmed, but it is expected to run until mid-2025.
A return with history
Neymar’s return marks a return to the place where he began to build his legacy. With 225 matches, 135 goals, and a Copa Libertadores in his trophy cabinet, Neymar left his mark at Santos before making the move to Europe, first with Barcelona and then with PSG. Now, with his eyes set on the 2026 World Cup, he hopes to regain his lost shine and return to being the star everyone knows.
This return is not just a boost of hope for Santos, but also a new opportunity for Neymar to re-enter the elite of world football. Neymar is now ready for the next chapter of his career!
