his big return to competition with his Saudi club, in the Asian Champions League.

Neymar, horizon mars 2025
This is a common desire of Neymar and his national team, so that he can gain strength and return in the best possible physical shape. Thus, the Seleçao's top scorer (79 goals) could play against Argentina and Colombia next March.
