Neymar's return to Santos is a landmark event in Brazilian football, reminiscent of Romário's transition three decades ago. Unlike past returns, Neymar isn't on a farewell tour; instead, he seeks to capitalize on this opportunity to assist Brazil in securing a sixth World Cup title. At 33, he aims to redeem a career marred by injuries and perceived failures, particularly his unsuccessful tenure with PSG compared to his aspirations for the Ballon d'Or. This time, the World Cup could mark a defining moment for his legacy.
"Neymar's move to Santos is the biggest return to Brazilian football since Romário left Barcelona to join Flamengo exactly 30 years ago."
"This is not the case with Neymar – it can be seen as a platform for what would be the greatest triumph of his controversial career: helping Brazil to an elusive sixth World Cup win next year."
