Neymar has sealed a long-awaited return to his boyhood club Santos in Brazil, the club's president has announced. He left the shores of Santos in 2013 to pursue a career at Barcelona and over the summer spoke of his desire to return one day. That day has arrived at long last after Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal terminated his £130million-per-year contract - after he played just seven games due to an ACL injury.
'It is the time (to come back), Neymar. It is time for you to come back to your people. To our home, to the club in our hearts,' Santos president Marcelo Teixeira said in a video on his social media channels on Tuesday. 'Welcome, our boy Ney! A boy of Vila (Belmiro, Santos’ stadium). Come back to be happy again with the white and black shirt. The Santos nation awaits you with open arms.'.
