Neymar will continue at Santos in 2026. The official renewal of the contract with the 33-year-old Brazilian forward was made by the São Paulo club with a video that compiles some of the best moments experienced by the number 10 last year, when he returned to the club where he formed. «2025 was a special and challenging year for me. Moments of joy and overcoming, which I was only able to face thanks to your love. An intense love, which I also feel and try to demonstrate in each game with the Sacred Mantle. 2026 has arrived and the destination could not be different. Santos is my place. I'm home, safe and happy. It is with you that I want to achieve the dreams that are still missing. The prince continues”, says Neymar, in the video published on social media. Neymar's return to Vila Belmiro, in 2025, coincided with Santos' promotion to the Brasileirão, after a year in Série B. Expectations were high, but Neymar's performance was far from dazzling, as his 11 goals in 28 games demonstrate. However, the way in which, even with a knee injury, he faced the last rounds of the championship, in which Santos fought for maintenance (they ended up qualifying for the South American Cup), ended up becoming an important moment for his rehabilitation among the fans. Neymar ended up having surgery on the medial meniscus in his left knee at the end of the season, a problem from which he continues to recover. A Brazilian international on 128 occasions, with 79 goals scored, Neymar had a career at Barcelona, PSG and Al Hilal, having handled more than 400 million euros in transfers before returning to Santos.
