Neymar stated that he would decide his future in Santos in half a month

Neimal himself said he would make a decision on his future in Santos after June 12. The Brazilian striker rejoined Santos, who was famous as a teenager in January with a five-month contract, and will become a free agent on June 30 this year. Santos Football Club hopes that Neymar will stay at the club at least until the 2026 World Cup.

When asked about Neymar's future, Neymar said: "I still don't know. I will not answer any questions about this. I have said that I don't know, so that's because I'm still thinking about it. It doesn't make sense to ask me again three days later, because the answer is the same, and I will only make a decision after June 12." Due to the new version of the Club World Cup, the Brazilian top league will be suspended for one month from June 12.

In the negotiations on the new contract between Neymar and Santos, Neymar's father and agent Neymar da Silva Santos said that there is no decision on his son's future, adding that his son has other options. “On June 30, everyone will know if we will continue to stay in Santos,” he said. "We have not made any decision yet because Neymar's contract has expired and Neymar has not discussed the issue of renewal." "The contract renewal depends on several factors. Santos has complete freedom to accept Neymar's contract renewal. Neymar also has the right to decide whether to renew the contract." "Now we need to know whether Santos has the intention and plan to retain Neymar, it doesn't depend on us... Now, does Neymar have a market? He has it."

When asked about the repeated muscle injuries of his son Neymar, he said: "It's inevitable, these injuries are expected. "We know that we've been through a period of constant injuries, which means we need to increase the time we play, play and slightly urge ourselves to be healthy and see how our bodies will react after so long recovery." "We are very satisfied with his physical recovery. He played for 45 minutes today, Neymar is very strong, we are happy with the progress of things at the moment”.
