Gabigol: Brazil 'need' Neymar at 2026 World Cup
""Everyone knows that Neymar is my idol and friend," Gabigol said during his unveiling. "I was able to play with him in the national team. We were very happy. I want to help him be 100%, we need him for the World Cup and to help Santos fight for titles.""
""Neymar signed a contract renewal with Santos through to the end of 2026 earlier this week. He is attempting to show Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti that he is fully fit and worthy of selection for the World Cup. Neymar underwent minor surgery on his left knee on Dec. 22 shortly after helping Santos avoid relegation. He had torn his ACL and meniscus in that same knee in October 2023 while on international duty with Brazil and has battled fitness problems ever since.""
