Neymar Jr. could leave Al-Hilal in January, and everything indicates that Santos could be considering repatriating him, they would even already have a plan for it
The idea of Neymar Jr. leaving Al-Hilal in January seems to be increasingly likely. Everything indicates that the Riyadh team is considering letting 'Ney' go, either through a transfer or even considering the option of granting him a release to seek a new destination and thus close the 'Canarinha's' '10' adventure in the Arab nation.
Now, the big question that arises from this scenario is: What will be the next destination of Neymar Jr.? The rumor that has gained more strength recently is his potential signing with Inter Miami in the MLS, where he would once again coincide with two of his great footballing partners, Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, to recreate the feared 'MSN' trio that shone at FC Barcelona.
However, in the last few hours, information has emerged that is grabbing attention in the sports world regarding the future of the former Barça player. Apparently, there is an option for Neymar Jr. to return to Brazil. With which team? It could not be any other than Santos, the team where he developed and where he made himself known as an unstoppable dribbler and a possessor of 'magical' football that few can match.
Santos reportedly has a plan to bring back Neymar Jr.
According to the Brazilian sports newspaper 'UOL Esporte', Santos, which has secured its return to the top division of Brazil, would be willing to give the green light to Neymar Jr.'s return in this winter transfer window, with the aim of having him in optimal condition to face the next 2026 World Cup, a tournament that could mark Mogi das Cruzes' farewell in a major competition with the 'Seleção'.
At the same time, it is suggested from Brazil that 'Peixe' would be prepared to make a grand return to the top division, accompanying the sports project with players like Paulo Henrique Ganso, Gabriel Barbosa ('Gabigol'), Léo Baptistão, and Danilo, all of whom are close to the Brazilian star. There is also the possibility that Jorge Sampaoli could be the coach, a suggestion made by Neymar Jr. for his return.
'Peixe' is willing to make an economic effort to sign 'Ney'
Not only would they try to entice the '10' with the presence of like-minded players, but Santos would be willing to make an economic effort to offer him the best possible salary. Additionally, a percentage of commercial interests, shirt sales, and a portion of revenues from new sponsors that could join if Neymar Jr. joins the team would be given to him.
The outcome of this case will be crucial, as undoubtedly, if 'Ney' returns to Santos, it would be a striking move by the club, which would be welcoming back their prodigal son after several years since his departure. In his previous stint, Neymar Jr. left impressive figures, scoring 136 goals and providing 64 assists in 225 matches, establishing himself as one of the best players in the history of the 'Alvinegro' team.
