This Wednesday (22/01), in Santos 1 x 2 Palmeiras, striker Guilherme celebrated the goal by making a signature gesture and then imitated the grimace that is one of Neymar’s trademarks. The fact had a strong impact on social media.
It’s no longer a secret that Neymar is Santos’ big wish for 2025. The question is: what’s left for the striker to sign with Peixe? Find out details.
Will Neymar play for Santos?
According to the website “Diário do Peixe”, Neymar has already signed an agreement with Santos. The agreement took place last Saturday (19/01). According to the page, the player, who is at Al-Hilal, will be loaned for six months, which is the term of his contract with the Arab club.
The dialogue on Saturday included the president of Santos, Marcelo Teixeira, the club’s CEO, Pedro Martins, and representatives of the striker, including Neymar’s father. “Diário do Peixe” states that the amounts that Peixe will pay have been finalized. The amount, however, was not disclosed.
However, the “Goal” website published some obstacles. One of them is that Neymar would need to give up what he still has to receive from the Saudi club – more than 40 million euros (R$252 million).
Furthermore, Neymar’s contract is linked to the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Tourism, as he is one of the ambassadors for the 2034 World Cup, which will take place in the country. A discussion on this issue still needs to happen.
What is Neymar’s salary at Al-Hilal?
Neymar receives 100 million euros per year (R$623 million) at Al-Hilal.
