Neymar is staying with Santos until at least 2025. That’s the outcome of negotiations between the club and the player to renew his contract, which was set to expire this month.
The deal means Neymar will have control over his future, deciding what’s next at each transfer window.
Santos wanted him to commit until the 2026 World Cup, but Neymar had other plans.
He still wants to play in the World Cup, though. With just four games played in the Brasileirão, Neymar is eager to help his team move up the rankings.
So far, he’s struggled with injuries since returning to Vila Belmiro at the start of the year.
In 12 games, he’s scored three goals and made three assists.
Neymar’s focus is on helping Santos escape the danger zone.
What’s Next for Neymar?
Neymar’s contract renewal is a win for Santos, but it’s not a long-term deal.
The club will have to wait and see what happens at the next transfer window.
For now, Neymar’s priority is to get back on the field and help his team.
With his skills and experience, he could make a big difference in the Brasileirão.
Stats and Performance

Neymar’s performance has been impacted by injuries, but he’s still a key player for Santos.
His goal is to help the team move up the rankings and avoid relegation.
