According to an Argentine journalist, the former PSG player could return to his hometown club, Santos, following the termination of his contract with Al-Hilal.
A return home for the prodigal son? That could be the case. Regularly confined to the infirmary since his arrival in Saudi Arabia, Neymar Jr. could well return to his hometown club Santos in Brazil. According to César Luis Merlo, the club recently crowned champions of Brazil’s second division have reportedly reached an agreement with the Seleção’s all-time top scorer.
On the other hand, the Saudi club and the Brazilian striker’s clan are said to be in negotiations to terminate the contract of the player who joined from PSG. Having been offered a golden bridge and an exorbitant salary to arrive in the Middle East, he has had a nightmare since his arrival, including a cruciate ligament rupture that sidelined him for a year.
Palmeiras says no
Still suffering from a hamstring injury sustained in early November, Neymar is not expected to play again for several weeks. It should be noted that “Ney” will certainly not be joining Palmeiras. When asked about a potential move for the former Barcelona star, the club’s president, Leila, preferred to quip: “This club is not a medical service“.
