Santos president Marcelo Teixeira has offered an update on Neymar’s future amid talk of interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Neymar Jr made a return to his boyhood club following a injury-marred 18-months at Saudi club, Al Hilal.The 33-year-old forward has been among the goals, while continuing to carefully manage his schedule, and intends to grace the World Cup finals in 2026. It remains to be seen where he will be playing his club football by the time that tournament rolls around.
There has been talk of the former Paris Saint-Germain star heading back to Europe for a second spell at Barca or a stint in Munich.
“The hardest part is already done, which was having him here. We’ll see the club’s technical response and results; we’re working on sponsorships… he’s already shown he’s not worried about the financial aspect. The entire technical committee supported him in his matches; everyone supports Santos, and the entire country does. And that will influence the possibility of him staying here in the near future. The national team has called him back.” said Teixeira.
There have been mixed messages when it comes to supposed interest from Barcelona, with the Catalan giants yet to show their hand, while Bundesliga table-toppers Bayern already have a number of attacking options on their books – including Kane, Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry.
