Neymar Jr. returns and, with him, the rumors about his future. One of the best footballers of this generation who, after leaving Barcelona for Paris and ending up in Saudi Arabia, He seeks to finish his career in the best possible way. Physical problems and his decisions have prevented this player from seeing his best level for longer, but he still has one last bullet left to say goodbye through the front door.
has been injured for more than a yearbeing practically unprecedented in his current club, but as soon as he returned, there was already talk of an exit. Tcontract ends in 2025so he could leave for free in the summer after a rough time at Al Hilal.
A footballer whose game depends on his smile and that joy has not been seen on the field of play for a long time. For that reason, look for a destination where you can be happy againwhere you can enjoy your passion again. Your options are mainly two and They do not depend so much on sports issuesbut rather emotional.
Go back to where you were happy
Blonde mohawk, a patch on the nose and the ability to leave all rivals behind. This was Neymar at Santos. Being practically a child, he made his rivals look like amateurs, with a superiority that soon reached Europe. They were his beginnings and the images that reached Spain were those of an unparalleled talent that could mark an era. This was the first 'Ney', with a self-confidence and insolence that made the young Brazilian shine with the black and white jersey.
Now, more than a decade later, He has the possibility of returning to the place where he grew up. Santos has returned to the Brazilian First Division and the footballer has shown his joy on social networks: “We return to the place where we should never have left”the Brazilian put on his Instagram.
Neymar arrives in June. It's the conversation we're having
Osvaldo Nico, vice president of the Santos Board of Directors
From the Peixe, far from denying the rumors, they are fueling them even more. The vice president of the Board of Directors was very emphatic when speaking about Neymar: “It arrives in June. That is the conversation we are having”. Furthermore, if that had not been enough, the former PSG He made a video call with the Santos forward at a press conference to celebrate the promotion, adding more links that relate him to the Brazilian team.
Even the coach himself has spoken about it, saying that “it would be great to have him” and that they have that ambition: “It's a dream, but let's dream”. Of course it would not be a departure motivated by money, but rather to return to the team of his loves, to once again wear the shirt with which he made a name in the world of football. Close the circle where it all began.
Return to someone who was happy
The other option is to land in an unknown place, but with 'old friends'. Where the best Neymar was seen was in Barcelona, forming a dream trident with Messi and Suárez. A relationship that went beyond the grass. A Uruguayan, a Brazilian and an Argentinian who were completely inseparable and who transferred their good relationship to the game.. He was also happy there, until he decided to go to Paris. Now, many years later, he could meet them again in the United States.
Inter Miami has, in addition to Luís and Leo, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, forming a team very similar to the one that won the Champions League in 2015 with Luis Enrique. Neymar would be the missing piece, although MLS rules make signing difficult. The salary limit is quite strictwith the exception of three 'franchise' players, but those places are already occupied in the North American club. However, 'Tata' Martino already speaks at a press conference asking for flexibility to make this signing possible: “With Leo and the rest of the boys coming, anything can happen. What I can't imagine is if the league doesn't make the salary issue more flexible, I don't know how it would go ahead… The rules are strict and cannot be broken, unless the MLS decides to change them“.
This speculation does not come only because of the relationship that links Neymar with the rest of the players, but also because The footballer would have already bought land in Miami for 26 million dollars.
In any case, Neymar's future seems far from Arabia and the destinations that have appeared speak of the player's need to regain his smile. It is up to you to decide whether you prioritize the place or the people.but wherever it is, it would be a real privilege to see one of the best footballers in happy history again on the grass and putting a finishing touch to a career that did not always go as well as expected.
