Neymar wants to return home with Santos

Neymar wants to go home. The Brazilian will try to terminate his contract with the Saudi club Al-Hilal and return to the childhood team Saints instead of playing in Major League Soccer (MLS).

Speculation about a transfer to the MLS They began after Neymar said he was open to a reunion with his former Barcelona teammates, such as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, at Inter Miami.

He was in talks with at least three MLS teams about a possible free transfer after his contract with Al-Hilal expires this summer. The Chicago Fire were reportedly the favorites to make it happen. However, the star prefers to return home.

Neymar has held talks with Santos for a six-month contract and will seek to negotiate the termination of his contract with Al-Hilal to receive part of the money he is owed from the two-year contract signed in 2023.

Al-Hilal coach Jorge Jesus recently said Neymar had no future at the club because he “can no longer play at the level we are used to” after numerous injuries cut short his spell in Saudi Arabia. He added that Neymar would not be registered to play in the second half of the Saudi Pro League season.

Neymar played for Santos’ youth and senior teams over a 10-year period before joining Barcelona in 2013.
