Neymar's time in Saudi Arabia has been littered with injuries and he may be on the verge of leaving it all behind in favour of a reunion with Brazilian side Santos. The Serie B club are "working on all fronts" to bring the icon home and have even gone so far as to produce an AI-generated video, narrated by Pele, that reportedly left Neymar's father moved. The clip listed all the reasons why the winger should return to Santos for the final years of his career.

A move back to Brazil is not the only option for Neymar. With the 32-year-old still not being registered for Al-Hilal, it is looking more likely than not that the ex-Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain winger will be on the move. Rumours of a link-up with former strike partners Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami have been doing the rounds, with the man himself admitting he would love to play with the pair again.
DID YOU KNOW?
If Neymar is not registered by Al-Hilal before the current period closes, he will only be able to feature in Asian Champions League games. Head coach Jorge Jesus spoke to the press recently and admitted after nearly a year out, the Brazil icon has not been able to keep up with the pace of his team-mates in training.

Neymar reportedly still has plans to play at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, which may explain why so many Major League Soccer clubs are linked with him. Chicago Fire are believed to be providing competition for the star's signature. With the man himself back in action, it is likely Neymar will make a decision on his future sooner rather than later.
