Neymar Returns to Santos Following Injury Spell at Saudi Arabia Club

Share

Neymar says Santos are helping him to "rediscover joy" after returning to his boyhood club on a short-term contract.

The 33-year-old ended a 16-month goal drought when coolly converting from the penalty spot in Santos' 3-1 win against Agua Santa on Sunday.

Neymar said "I'm happy to be playing again. I feel I'm improving,"..

Neymar completed a return to Santos after Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent following an injury-hit spell with the club.

Al-Hilal paid £77.6m to sign Neymar from Paris St-Germain in August 2023 but a knee injury restricted him to just seven appearances.
