Neymar Jr. is officially returning to his boyhood club, Santos FC. The Brazilian star, who started his career at Santos before becoming a global icon, has decided to go back to where it all began. This emotional homecoming marks a special moment in Neymar’s journey.
A Journey Across the World
Neymar started his professional career at Santos, wowing fans with his skill and talent. In 2013, he moved to Barcelona, where he formed a legendary partnership with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez. After winning several titles in Spain, he made a record-breaking €222 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.
In August 2023, Neymar joined Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, injuries limited his impact there—he played just seven games, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
Leaving Al Hilal for Home
Neymar and Al Hilal have mutually agreed to terminate his contract. Despite having $65 million left on his deal, Neymar chose to give it up to return to Santos FC. For Neymar, this decision was about more than money—it was about going back to his roots.
Back to Vila Belmiro
Neymar will undergo a medical and officially sign with Santos later this week. Returning to Vila Belmiro, the stadium where he first made his name, is a dream come true for the Brazilian star.
Fans around the world are excited to see Neymar back at Santos, ready to create new memories at the club that made him a star. Welcome home, Neymar!
