For the fans of Brazilian football, Neymar’s future at Santos remains a hot topic and the 33-year-old star forward has yet to agree on a contract extension with his boyhood club, but optimism is growing on both sides. Speaking to Bandsports, Neymar gave a hopeful update, saying there's a “7 out of 10” chance he’ll stay, expressing deep love for the club where it all began.

"My story with Santos never ends. I was born here and want to die here," he said, highlighting how the club is more than just a team — it’s his home. Neymar also admitted that while he hasn’t contributed as much on the field due to fitness issues, he’s working hard to regain full form and rediscover his joy for the game. He returned to Santos with the intention of finding happiness and rebuilding his physical condition.

Negotiations for a new contract are in progress, with Neymar’s father, who also serves as his manager, confirming that they see his future at Santos. However, there’s no rush to sign the extension immediately. Neymar's long-term goal remains clear — to be fit and back to his best for the 2026 World Cup with Brazil.
