Neymar Júnior could rock the black and white of Brazilian club Santos after 12 years. Returning to the club that raised him is close to completion. According to Diário do Peixe, an outlet that covers Santos exclusively, there could be a potential loan deal in the works.
According to the publication, Santos, who were promoted to Serie A after a year in Serie B, have reached an agreement to bring Neymar on loan until summer. Al Hilal will foot part of his bills during this time.
Neymar’s contract at Al Hilal will expire at the end of June, so he could join Santos permanently as a free agent in July.
The Brazilian player moved to Saudi Arabia from PSG in 2023 for €90 million (£76 million). But, he has played just three league matches for Al Hilal so far.
Neymar was absent for a long time due to torn knee ligaments and soon after returning to the club, he injured his hamstring again. The Brazilian club hope to help the star return to complete health and to a point that is close to his best.
Santos are coming back to the top division and will count on Neymar to ensure they don’t struggle again.
