Neymar is expected to depart from Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal and rejoin Santos FC on a loan agreement. This information comes from Brazilian sources, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, and MLS insider Tom Bogert (as reported by Yahoo Sport). The two clubs are said to be “close to a loan deal” that would bring Neymar back to his home country for six months. This news follows speculation about a potential transfer to Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer. A media outlet focused on Santos FC in Brazil has reported that “the player has expressed to his father and agents his desire to return to the club where he began his career.” Globo notes that there are still financial details to resolve before the deal can go through. “Neymar is owed approximately 65 million dollars from Al-Hilal, and he isn’t willing to forfeit this amount right now, even though he wants to be freed from the contract.” Despite the situation, Santos reportedly feels optimistic about finalizing an agreement with the Saudi Arabian club after independently securing an arrangement with the player. Prior to his move to Europe, Neymar played 225 matches for Santos, scoring 136 goals and providing 64 assists. The team currently holds the top position in the Brasileiro Série B league.
