Neymar Ends the MSN Dream: Santos Focus, Short-Term Return, and a Sky-High Hat-Trick
4 December 2025
Update on Neymar's Future
Brazilian veteran Neymar Jr., Santos' forward, sent a clear message about his next destination, ending any dream of reuniting with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez at Inter Miami.
Neymar, 33, rejoined Santos in January after leaving Al Hilal on a free transfer.
The Brazilian star departed Al Hilal after a season and a half; the Saudi club did not benefit from his services due to injuries, most notably a knee ACL tear while with Brazil in World Cup qualifiers.
Neymar sustained this injury a few months after arriving from Paris Saint-Germain for 90 million euros, having previously missed time due to muscular injuries.
He signed a six-month deal with Santos, renewing through the end of the year.
Regarding his contract that ends in a few weeks, Neymar told Amazon Prime Video: Santos is always my priority.
Numerous reports speculated Neymar could move to another Brazilian club, while some papers linked him with joining Messi and Suárez at Inter Miami.
Neymar starred by scoring a hat-trick to give his side victory over Juventude, earning three crucial points in their bid to escape relegation.
Punchline: Neymar's loyalty contract comes with a six-month warranty. Terms may be renegotiated if the sponsor sleeps.
Punchline: For Messi and Suárez fans hoping for a reunion, the tour is now on YouTube—front row, no refunds.
