Even if it is only the Paulista, a friendly championship between the clubs of Sao Paulo, Neymar (33 years old) has seen since his return to Santos at the winter transfer window. The Brazilian international (128 selections, 79 goals) is back in the foreground with now 3 goals and 3 offering in 9 games, including a nice goal last night against Bragantino. What perfectly put it back on foot for his big goal: to be back for the 2026 World Cup, with the Seleçao.
But barely back on the ground after his fiasco in al-Hilal, Neymar is already announced at FC Barcelona. Under contract for only six months with his training club, the former Barcelona had already expressed his desire to return to Europe when he arrived: “The contract we have concluded, we did it while thinking of each other. Santos helps me, he opened doors to me to rediscover football. I didn't want to sign a long contract because I didn't know how I was going to come back, how I was going to feel.

Hansi Flick doubts Neymar
And since then, the Catalan press has excited and affirmed that the famous Israeli agent, Pini Zahavi, was acting behind the scenes and discussions would already be underway between the Catalan club and the Neymar camp. Agent of Neymar and Hansi Flick, Zahavi would have attempted to convince the German technician of the capital gain of such a sporting level. Although he does not consider his signature as a priority, Barça would like to bring him back to have him play in his new Camp Nou.
But according to the last indiscretions of SportHansi Flick would not want Neymar in the current Barcelona wardrobe. The German coach considers that his age and physical condition still raise doubts for his arrival among the Blaugranas. In addition, no formal proposal has been put on the table and Barça still does not know what its room for maneuver will be during the next transfer window, due to the rules related to financial fair play. The priority is therefore to strengthen the long-term team, in particular to replace Robert Lewandowski. Neymar's arrival would then be possible if all these conditions were to be met.
