Neymar in person who confirmed his return by publishing a moving video on his social networks. We see images of the star in the club which propelled it at the highest level, more than a decade ago.
Neymar to Santos, a resounding transfer after a historic flop

The former Parisian will above all have the ambition to find the land with regularity to reach his best level in 2026, with a view to the World Cup in America, the big goal of his end of career.
