The Sao Paulo club (Brazilian D1) has no intention of seeing the “Ney” show up. “ Neymar will not play for Palmeiras, this club is not a medical centertackled Leila Mejdalani Pereira, the president of the club with 12 Brazilian championship titles, to the media Universe Online (UOL) . I want players to come here ready to play tomorrow if the coach needs them. »

Again
injured on November 4 (hamstrings), after more than a year on the sidelines also due to a physical problem, much more serious this one (knee), the midfielder of Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia) is the subject of new rumors. For several weeks, there have been rumors of a return to the country of the star of the national team (128 caps – 79 goals). A Santos FC official is taking an even bigger step regarding the 32-year-old player whose contract with the Saudi club will end in June 2025.

The return home, a timeless story

In an interview given at the beginning of November to Brazilian radio Jovem Pan, Osvaldo Nico, the vice-president of the board of directors of Santos, caused a small sensation by declaring: “ Neymar arrives in Santos in June. This is the conversation we had “.

Before revealing himself to the general European public by signing for FC Barcelona in 2013, Neymar Jr was the attraction of Santos FC. He played 225 matches with the white jersey, scoring 136 goals. Returning to where it all began is always an appealing scenario. Especially in the club of Pelé, the undeniable icon of Brazilian football.
