Neymar Returns to Santos, Ending MLS Speculations

Neymar Jr. will not be making a move to Major League Soccer after all. The Brazilian football superstar is set to return to Santos FC, effectively leaving Al Hilal immediately. This transfer news was confirmed by renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Romano announced on social media the termination of Neymar’s contract with Al Hilal, stating, “Neymar Jr back to Santos, story confirmed and HERE WE GO! Al Hilal have terminated Ney’s contract with immediate effect as the Brazilian will now travel for medical and sign in as new Santos player. Back to Santos, back to Vila Belmiro. Ney volta pra casa.”

Earlier this month, Paul Tenorio and Mario Cortegana from The Athletic reported that the Chicago Fire had initiated discussions regarding a potential transfer for Neymar to the MLS. However, their sources conveyed that Major League Soccer was not a priority for Neymar and his family at this time, despite some exploratory conversations taking place.

As Neymar prepares for his return home to Santos, anticipation builds among fans regarding his impact on the club, where he began his professional career and gained international prominence. Further updates and insights on this developing story will be provided as they arise.
