0The possibility of Neymarwearing the Santos shirt again in 2025 is gaining momentum. The club has intensified contacts with the striker's staff and is working on negotiations with Al-Hilal for a six-month loan. The proposal aims to provide the player with the chance to regain physical shape in an environment where he has always been very loved.
In an action of marketing that featured artificial intelligence technology, Santos produced a video narrated by Pelé, highlighting the reasons for Neymar to return to Peixe. The material, created in just 24 hours, moved the player's father and touched his team, reinforcing the idea that the affection of the fans and the club's environment can be decisive for his recovery.
BACKSTAGE AND FAN SUPPORT
In addition to marketing actions, the Santos board is active behind the scenes to make the return come true. The fans, in turn, demonstrated their unconditional support in the season premiere, during the 2-1 victory against Mirassol. The chorus "Volta para casa Neymar" echoed in the stands, expressing the collective desire to see their idol again in Vila Belmiro.
UNDEFINITE FUTURE AT AL-HILAL
At Neymar's current club, Al-Hilal, the striker's situation is far from be comfortable. He will not be registered in the Saudi national league and, if he remains, he will only be able to play in the Asian Champions League. Furthermore, coach Jorge Jesus highlighted in an interview that the player has not been able to keep up with the pace of training, which could facilitate his departure.

NEGOTIATION INVOLVED 1 MILLION EUROS

However, a portion of 175 thousand euros (approximately R$897 thousand at the current exchange rate) was not paid within the stipulated deadline. After a formal notification to Leixões on the 15th, Mais Querido did not receive the amount in the following 48 hours and is now prepared to seek a solution from FIFA.
WERTON SE HIGHLIGHTS AT LEIXÕES
Despite the financial impasse, Werton has stood out at Leixões.

BRUNO HENRIQUE: FAN AND POSSIBLE REINFORCEMENT OF THE ATLÉTICO-MG
Bruno Henrique's personal connection with Atlético-MGmay be an asset to the Minas Gerais club. A declared Galo fan, the striker has already signaled positively about the possibility of playing in Belo Horizonte.
The proposal presented meets the expectations of the player, but Flamengo remains resilient, especially considering Bruno Henrique's role as a starter at the beginning of the season and the absence of Pedro, who only returns in June.
If confirmed, the signing of Bruno Henrique will place Atlético-MG's attack among the strongest in the country, alongside Hulk and Gustavo Scarpa. The trio would have the potential to boost the team's performance in national and international competitions.
FLAMENGO KEEP BRUNO HENRIQUE AS PART OF PLANS FOR 2025
No Mengão, Bruno Henrique has been used as a false 9, especially after the arrival of Juninho, who is also looking for space in the starting lineup. With Pedro's absence, Bruno Henrique should accumulate significant minutes in the first half of 2025, reinforcing his importance for the Rio club.
