The Brazilian footballer is set to return to Santos on a six-month loan deal.
Recent developments regarding Neymar Jr.’s future have surfaced. Only three days ago, Al Hilal coach Jorge Jesus declared that he no longer counted on the Brazilian striker, clearly stating that he “can no longer perform at the level we were used to.”
Indeed, the Portuguese coach confirmed that they are actively looking for a player to replace him: “He still has a contract with us, and it will be his decision regarding his future. Currently, we are looking for a winger to fill this role.”
With his place in the Saudi team under threat, Neymar is looking for a new club to continue his professional career. Apparently he’s close to going home. According to reports, the Brazilian star is set to make his return to Santos after the club made a formal loan proposal.

Santos are looking to finalize a deal for Neymar’s loan deal until next June, when his contract with Al Hilal expires. The footballer is said to have given the green light for the operation, with only the Saudi club remaining to approve the deal.
Neymar, who had also been linked with MLS franchise Chicago Fire, favors a return to Santos, the club where he played before moving to Europe with FC Barcelona. As a result, the Brazilian is getting closer and closer to wrapping up his Saudi adventure and starting a new chapter in his homeland.
