Will Neymar leave Santos?
The main name of the cast, Neymar recently renewed the bond with the fish, as the previous contract was valid until the end of June. However, according to Radio Itatiaia, the new agreement does not have automatic renewal clause until the 2026 World Cup, as previously speculated.
The fish board and the staff of shirt 10 should meet again at the end of the season to define the next steps. The club welcomes Neymar’s permanence, but there is still no decision on the duration of a new contract.
Thus, Neymar is released to sign a pre-contract with another club, if he wants to leave in January 2026. However, internally, the feeling is that there will be mutual effort to extend the athlete’s trajectory in Vila Belmiro.
Other players who can leave Santos
Among the athletes with contract until the end of the current season, the midfielder Hyan is the most forwarded situation. The 21 -year -old, revealed in the club’s base categories, has already started conversations with the board to renew the bond.
Although the current contract allows Hyan to sign a pre-agreement with another club for the 2026 season, Santos’ intention is to keep the steering wheel in the cast. The club sees growth potential in the athlete and bets on the continuity of the work.
On the other hand, 37 -year -old defender Gil has not yet defined the future. After considering retirement at the end of 2024, the defender continued to act, but now she evaluates the possibility of ending her career at the end of this season.
Gil even temporarily walked away from CT Rei Pelé to resolve personal issues, but returned to the group and remains available to the coaching staff. In addition, he lost space in the starting defense dispute, which has Luan Peres, João Basso and Zé Ivaldo.
The situation of the right-back Aderlan is more delicate. After suffering a serious knee injury in 2024, the player became out of a thigh injury in May this year. At the moment, there is no guarantee that it will remain in the cast for 2026.
