Neymar has had a rocky start to his Al Hilal journey. The Brazilian did not start off immediately for the Saudi side, as an injury bogged him down. Soon after, he went to Brazil and played in the World Cup qualifiers. After his return to the club, he faced criticism for not being able to score and there were rumors of a feud with gaffer Jorge Jesus.
Now, as per TyCSports, Ney is looking for a return ticket to Brazil with his childhood club, Santos. The Brazilian reportedly has plans to prepare for the 2026 World Cup by staying in his home country. Journalist Ademir Quintino believes that Ney has only a short-term contract with Saudi and will return sooner than expected.
Admeir Quintino, in his statement, said, “I received the information that they did not sign a four-year contract with the Saudis but a one-year contract so that they could return (to Santos) a year before the World Cup, as Robinho did in 2010.”
