Neymar signed in the summer of 2023, but he has only been able to play 7 matches with his team, scoring one goal and providing three assists. Both the club and the player are now looking for a change, and his return to Santos seems to be the main option. With the team wearing the number 10 shirt, Neymar played 225 matches throughout his career, scoring 136 goals and providing 64 assists.
The winter transfer market in Europe is usually quiet, but a radical change is expected in 2025 with a possible signing of Neymar from South America. Brazil's Santos showed interest in the player, who is currently with Al Hilal and has had little activity due to injuries. Another interested party in Neymar is Chicago Fire of MLS, which has started talks to try to add him to their squad next season.
Reports indicate that Santos is leading the race for Neymar, as the player wants to return to his former club. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, a loan seems to be the most feasible option if Al Hilal gives the green light. Neymar, eager to take on a new challenge, arrived at the Middle Eastern team as a star, but injuries have prevented him from showing his best level.
