Santos has confirmed that they have again signed Neymar, who made a stunning return to his boys' club.
Neymar, who ended his contract with Al-Hilal earlier this week by mutual permission, announced on Thursday that he would return to Santos and reportedly signed a six-month deal.
The Brazilian initially came to the Academy of the Club in 2003 as a 11-year-old, before he made his senior debut in 2009 and 235 performances for the club to appear in all competitions.
During that time he scored 136 goals before he left the club to join Barcelona in 2013, and won eight major distinctions, including two Laliga titles, a Champions League and a Fifa Club World Cup.

Since then he has played for Ligue 1-side Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Hilal, although he only made seven performances for the Saudi Pro League club after struggling with injuries.
Neymar now returns to Santos, who won promotion to the Brazilian Serie A in 2024 after three years in the second layer, 12 years after his departure.
In his first Stint he won the Copa do Brasil, three Campeonato Paulista titles, the Copa Libertadores in 2011 and the Recopa Sudamericana.
