Brazil no longer wants Neymar!

Having left Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 to embark on the Saudi adventure with Al-Hilal, Neymar has seen his career bog down for more than a year. Having suffered a string of injuries since his arrival, he is not expected on the field before mid-December. Playing only seven matches under the colors of the Riyadh club (1 goal and 3 goals), the native of Mogi das Cruzes is far from justifying for the moment the 90 million euros paid by the club coached by Jorge Jesus. At the end of his contract this summer, even if an option exists in his contract, Neymar is not guaranteed to continue in Saudi Arabia.

From then on, a return to Brazil for the 32-year-old is a likely option. Trained at Santos, he was notably announced within the São Paulo club but for the moment the file is not really moving forward. “There are no discussions for Neymar's departure from Saudi Arabia. He is under contract and is happy there. Neymar's father and I are the only ones who can talk about Ney's future. I don't know where the recent rumors come from.”notably reminded his agent Pini Zahavi, to the Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Recalé to Palmeiras and Botafogo

However, on the Auriverde side, some are not ready to welcome Neymar despite his talent which makes everyone in the country unanimous. President of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira notably took out the sulphate when discussing possible interest from the Verdao in Neymar: “Palmeiras is not a medical service. I want someone who comes immediately, who can play tomorrow if the coach wants. I will not accept that we sign a player who is unfit to play.

And the leader of the São Paulo team is not the only one to oppose the arrival of Neymar. President of Botafogo, the club owned by John Textor, Durcesio Mello, did not fail to put an end to any possible speculation. “Neymar? God forbid. He's on Messi's level and better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but he ruined his career, which culminated in this injury that lasted for about a year, and now he's injured again», he said in an interview on the channel Alvinegra Review. Failed by the first two in the Brazilian championship, Neymar is not unanimous in Brazil.
