Neymar has reportedly agreed to return to Santos on loan for six months, following his time at Al-Hilal. The 32-year-old has made only seven appearances for the Saudi club after his €90 million transfer from PSG in 2023. Santos used AI to create a video voiced by Pele, enticing Neymar back to the Brazilian side almost 12 years after he left.
For the transfer window, Neymar has reportedly agreed to rejoin Santos on loan as his tenure at Al-Hilal comes to an end. The Brazil superstar has six months left on his contract with Al-Hilal but has not been registered for the second half of the Saudi Pro League season. Neymar, 32, is expected to leave Saudi Arabia this month after making just seven appearances following his €90 million move from Paris Saint-Germain in 2023, largely due to injury.
While a potential reunion with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami was discussed, Neymar is now set to return to his boyhood club, Santos. The Brazilian club has agreed to a six-month loan deal, with the announcement expected soon. Santos used artificial intelligence to create a video narrated by the late Pele, hoping to persuade Neymar to come back almost 12 years after he departs for Barcelona.
Despite Neymar previously expressing his interest in reuniting with Messi and Suarez, his move to Santos highlights his decision to return to his roots. This marks a significant moment in his career, as he returns to the club that launched his international fame.
