Neymar, 33, returned to Santos in January after cutting short his stay with Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, initially signing a deal until June 30.

Speaking to the club website, Neymar said: "I made a decision and I listened to my heart. Santos is not just my team, it is my home, my roots, my history and my life. Here I was a boy who became a man, and I am truly loved. "Here I can be myself, truly happy. And it is here that I want to fulfil the dreams that are missing in my career. And nothing will stop me. I go, I come back and I stay. Where it all began and where it will never end.' Neymar has been limited by injuries since returning to Brazil, scoring three goals and adding three assists in 15 games for Santos this year.

Neymar signs for six more months with Santos with an eye on World cup
Neymar has struggled with injuries since returning to Santos (NELSON ALMEIDA) Neymar on Tuesday extended his contract with Brazilian club Santos until the end of 2025, as he attempts to recapture his form in time for next year's World Cup. "I made a decision and I followed my heart. Santos is not just my team, it's my home, my roots, my history, and my life," the 33-year-old forward said in a statement from the club. Advertisement Neymar started his career at Santos before moving to Barcelona and then Paris Saint-Germain. After an injury-hit spell in Saudi Arabia, he returned to Santos in January on a contract that was due to expire on June 30. The injury problems that restricted him to just seven matches in 17 months at Al-Hilal persisted. He has played 12 matches in five months across all competitions for Santos, scoring three goals. In his last appearance in the domestic league, he was sent off for a second yellow card after scoring with his hand against Botafogo. After 12 matches in this season's Brazilian championship, Santos are only clear of the relegation places on goal difference. Advertisement Since his return to Brazil, Neymar has drawn criticism for partying at the Rio Carnival and for appearing in the gimmicky seven-a-side Kings League while nursing injuries. Neymar is the Brazil national team's all-time leading scorer with 79 goals, two more than another Santos product, Pele, but his quest for a World Cup winner's medal has repeatedly ended in disappointment. Neymar was recalled to the Brazil squad in March for two World Cup qualifiers, but withdrew with a thigh injury. In May, new coach Carlo Ancelotti left Neymar out of his first squad. "I selected players who are in good shape. Neymar has just returned from injury, everyone knows he's a very important player and we're obviously counting on him," said Ancelotti. erc-lg/esp/cb/pb/rcw

Neymar to start for 1st time in over a YEAR 🤯
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. The Santos game this Sunday (9) is only for the qualifying phase of the Campeonato Paulista. But it generates great expectation, especially around Neymar's participation. Against Novorizontino, the striker should be a starter in a match for the first time in over a year. The last opportunity he started a game was 481 days ago, for the Brazilian National Team. On October 17, 2023, Neymar was a starter in the World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay. He had to leave the field before halftime due to a serious injury to his left knee. Since then, he has been on the field only three times: twice for Al-Hilal and once for Santos, always coming off the bench. In none of these games did he directly participate in a goal. October 21, 2024 Neymar came off the bench in the 32nd minute of the second half. November 4, 2024 Neymar came off the bench in the 13th minute of the second half. He had to be substituted about half an hour later, with a rupture in the right thigh tendon. February 5, 2025 Neymar came off the bench at the start of the second half. 📸 NELSON ALMEIDA - AFP or licensors
