Neymar, the 32-year-old Brazilian forward currently under contract with Al-Hilal until June 2025, is close to securing a loan move back to his former club, Santos.

The deal is expected to be officially announced in the coming days. Neymar's potential return to Santos has been a topic of intense speculation, fueled by his desire to leave Al-Hilal where he has struggled with injuries and limited playing time. Santos has been optimistic about the possibility, having engaged in negotiations with Neymar and his representatives. The move would see Neymar return to the club where he began his professional career in 2009, and where he achieved significant success, including winning the CONMEBOL Libertadores in 2011.
