Neymar looks set to return to Brazilian club Santos after terminating his contract with Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal Monday.
Following the contract termination, Neymar is set to return to Brazilian club Santos, where he first broke out in the soccer world, soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported Monday.Al Hilal have terminated Ney’s contract with immediate effect as the Brazilian will now travel for medical and sign in as new Santos player.Neymar started with Santos' senior team in 2009 and stayed until 2013, scoring 107 goals in 177 games.
Despite Al Hilal winning the league in Neymar's first season, he only featured in three league games across his debut and second campaign due to various injuries, including a torn ACL he recently recovered from. The soon-to-be 33-year-old will look to regain his form at Santos, who promoted back into the country's top division as the Serie B champion following a shock relegation.
He'll likely return to the senior Brazilian team for international games, too, as his presence will be vital for a team in need of a spark ahead of the 2026
