Santos president Marcelo Teixeira hopes Neymar will extend his stay despite speculation about a Barcelona return. Neymar, on a short-term contract, remains focused, training hard, and regaining confidence. While Deco dismissed transfer rumors, Neymar himself admitted, anything can happen. Santos continues working on sponsorship deals to keep their star beyond this season.
With the speculation surrounding Neymar’s future, Santos president Marcelo Teixeira has expressed his hope that the Brazilian superstar will extend his stay at the club despite rumors linking him to a Barcelona return. Neymar, who rejoined Santos on a short-term deal, has been in strong form, earning a recall to the Brazilian national team. Teixeira emphasized Neymar’s dedication, stating that the player is fully committed to training, matches, and the club’s overall project.
Barcelona’s sporting director Deco recently downplayed the possibility of Neymar returning to the Camp Nou, but reports suggest the 32-year-old forward still dreams of playing for Barça again. Financial concerns appear to be secondary for Neymar, as Teixeira highlighted that the club is working on sponsorship deals to support his stay. Santos believes his presence significantly impacts the team, with his teammates looking up to him as a role model.
While Neymar has remained non-committal about his future, stating that “anything can happen”, Santos remains optimistic about convincing him to stay. However, if Barcelona makes a serious move, the Brazilian might consider a return to Europe, adding further intrigue to the upcoming summer transfer window.
