After leaving Paris Saint-Germain in August 2023, Neymar Jr. did not play a lot with the Saudi club Al Hilal. For good reason, a rupture of the crossed ligaments which he contracted in October 2023 and which removed him from the fields for more than a year. The player failed to regain the competition permanently despite his efforts.
Faced with this complicated situation, the Brazilian left Al-Hilal this winter to find, for a period of six months, his training club and which revealed it, the Santos FC.

A return to Barça possible for Neymar?
This return to Santos hides a much deeper will for Neymar. The Brazilian media UOL argues that the former Paris Saint-Germain star would dream of finding FC Barcelona this summer, a club during which he evolved for 4 years. It must be said that Neymar made an impression on the Blaugranas by playing 186 matches, scoring 105 goals and delivering 76 assists.
In the meantime, no one knows if FC Barcelona wishes to repatriate the Auriverde player who will be free from any contract at the end of the season. Case to follow.
