The Brazilian has returned to his home country and seems ready for the challenge with Santos, his boys' club.
After 12 years away, Neymar returned to Brazil to sign for his youth team, Santos. The 32-year-old was great heights during his time in Europe, but has hardly been on the field in recent years.
After making the switch to Al Hilal in 2023, Neymar managed only seven competitive performances and scored one goal. The transmission of $ 100 million was a disaster for the Saudi Pro League side when a Neymar fought with fitness issues affected by injuries.
He spent more than a year on the sidelines after tearing his front cruciate ligament (ACL) while he was in international duty with Brazil, which occurred about his long -term fitness. At points during his time at Al Hilal, he was criticized because he seemed overweight, a natural consequence of the spending time of competitive action.
Neymar's dedication to the game has been questioned in recent years because he has disappeared from his dazzling peak. He has sustained muscular injuries with an increased regularity, has opted for a move from Europe and has an impressive report of missing competitions and returns to Brazil for his sister's birthday in March.
Now his return to Santos starts on a more positive foot and video shared by the Brazilian team shows him in good condition. This new look Neymar has already participated in training sessions with the team and could make his second debut later this week.
He will be 33 on Wednesday 5 February and could mark the opportunity by making his long -awaited return to the game against Botafogo that evening. Neymar seems enthusiastic about the idea of a return to Santos and will wear iconic no. 10 for Santos, once worn by the Great Pelé.
“Today it is more a salvation for me, I see it in a personal sense,” said Neymar last week during his revelation. “I am glad that everyone says it is a rescue of Brazilian football, I am happy for the affection, not just the Santos fans, but from fans of other teams, who cheer for me. I am very happy to go back I have to regain my self -confidence, which is what I came across. “
