Today Neymar revolutionized Vila Belmiro, the Santos stadium, where the first final of the Paulista Championship was played, between the local team and Palmeiras, with a 1-0 victory for Peixe. The Brazilian star, who is recovering from a serious knee injury, was invited to present the trophy that the winner of the São Paulo state championship will win, but hours after Ney’s visit to the stadium where he took his first steps, information was leaked that resonated loudly throughout Brazil and will soon do so in other parts of the world: a leader confirmed that Neymar today notified players and members of the club that next year he will play in Santos again.
The information was published by the Brazilian media UOL, and reports on a brief visit by Ney to the Santos locker room before the match. In order not to take the spotlight away from the final, the footballer who currently plays for Al Hilal, in Saudi Arabia, entered the local locker room, greeted the players one by one, and continued towards the press room, where he waited for the moment to enter. to the playing field and present the trophy. But in that passage through the corridors of Vila Belmiro, Ney expressed his idea of returning to Santos next year.
It is not the first time this year that Neymar has visited Vila Belmiro. At the beginning of February he had already been to watch the game against Corinthians. The good relationship of the president, Marcelo Teixeira, with Ney and his family makes everything even easier. In fact, Teixeira made statements a few days ago assuring that Ney’s return to Santos is “inevitable”, but he had not been as precise as the same player was today, talking about next year. For now, Santos will begin its journey back to Primera in three weeks, after suffering the first relegation in its history last year.
Teixeira, president of Santos and the possible return of Neymar
A few days ago, the Peixe president spoke with CNN Brazil about a potential return of the prodigal son to Vila Belmiro, a club where he made his professional debut in 2009 at just 16 years old. “He has a relationship of appreciation, respect and gratitude with Santos. So I think the path is inevitable,” said Teixeira.
At the same time, Ney also asked the club’s leadership that his legendary number 11 not be used until he returned to the institution, something that was also confirmed by Teixeira in December a few days after the relegation to the second category. “On Sunday night I received a call from Neymar after the relegation. In that call he asked me that since we took the 10 for relegation, we should also remove the 11 because he is going to return,” he stated.
And he added: “He asked to save number 11 until he returns to the club. We are very hopeful to have him at Santos. It will be an honor to have the star we formed again. Number 11 will be removed until he returns, people are waiting for his return and I hope we can return to the First Division to have Neymar again.”
