The Brazilian club "Santos" has activated its activities in the transfer market following the return of Neymar, who previously played for them. At the same time, there were rumors that former forward "Al-Hilal" refused 99% of his earnings in the Saudi league (130 million pounds sterling annually). "Santos" returned to Brazil's top football division after winning the second division last season. The club successfully leased forward "Chelsea" David Washington (18 years old), who was acquired by "Chelsea" from "Santos" for 17 million pounds sterling in 2023, but only played 3 matches in the last season.
"Santos" is also trying to sign a contract with Brazilian playmaker Arthur Melo, a former player of "Barcelona," whose catalog club bought from "Grêmio" for 31 million euros in 2018. "Santos" hopes to strengthen its team before upcoming competitions.
