Neymar is reportedly close to rejoining Santos, the Brazilian club where his career began, on a loan deal from Al Hilal. Multiple sources, including Diario do Peixe, suggest the deal will see Neymar return to Brazil until the summer, with Al Hilal covering part of his wages.
Key Details of the Move
- Loan Agreement: Santos, newly promoted to Serie A, has reportedly reached an agreement to bring Neymar on loan until his contract with Al Hilal expires in June.
- Future Possibility: Neymar could join Santos permanently as a free agent in July if the deal materializes.
- Al Hilal Struggles: Neymar joined the Saudi Arabian side in 2023 for €90 million but has managed only three league appearances due to injuries, including torn knee ligaments and a hamstring issue.
Santos’ Hopes
Santos, seeking to solidify their position in Serie A after a year in Serie B, are banking on Neymar to bring experience and quality to the squad. The club also aims to help Neymar regain fitness and form after his injury setbacks.
A return to Santos could mark a sentimental homecoming for Neymar, who last played for the club in 2013 before his high-profile move to Barcelona.
