Nothing is yet official, but it may be just a matter of time. A few days after having terminated the contract which linked him to the Saudi club Al-Hilal amicably, Neymar is getting closer with a return to the side of Santos, his training club. He posted a video on Thursday evening that leaves no room for doubt.

In this video posted on his social networks, the former FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain reads a text while striking images of his career parade. “I feel like I'm going back in time. I'm here with my friends and family and they help me write two or three things. I can't keep it for myself and wait until tomorrow. My family and friends already know my decision. »»

“I'm going to sign in Santos”

And Neymar to make his announcement. “I will sign a contract with the Santos FC. I want to thank my fans around the world who had long hoped that this moment became reality. I've been going out for almost twelve years and I have the impression that it was yesterday. My feelings for the club and the fans have never changed. I experienced great moments in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia welcomed me unimaginally. And not only me, my family too. »»

Continuing his Laïus by insisting on the happiness he had to live a year and a half in Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian finally concluded: “I will be hired to make the 2034 World Cup is a success. The Saudi people deserves it and I want to be there in order to follow the evolution of this wonderful country. But today, I need to play again and only a club like Santos can bring me the love I need to prepare the challenges of the next few years. I hope you are all with me for this new stage of my life. (…) Playing football, doing what I like most in life is what makes me happy. »»
