Neymar, Brazil's top goal scorer, extended his contract with Santos until the end of the Brazilian Serie A season after returning on a short-term deal. He expressed deep emotional ties to the club, calling it his home and a place where he can fulfill unachieved career dreams. With his history at Santos, Neymar highlights the significance of this decision amid talks of a European return. Club president Marcelo Teixeira emphasized the importance of Neymar for the team’s future and its legacy in Brazilian football.
I made a decision and I listened to my heart. Santos is not just my team, it's my home, my roots, my history and my life. Here I was a boy who became a man, and I am truly loved. Here I can be myself, truly happy. This is where I want to fulfil the dreams that are missing in my career. And nothing's going to stop me.
It is a historic and remarkable day for Brazilian football, a gift for the fans of Santos FC. Our idol, our boy, the prince with our number 10 shirt remains.
