Follow usSantos have put on hold deal discussions with Neymar because of concerns about his fitness and demanding a high salary. The Brazilian star has missed a lot of matches in the current campaign because of injuries. Despite the great admiration between Neymar and the chiefs in Santos, they don’t want to do anything rash, and now it seems like the 33-year-old will leave after his deal ends at the end of the year.
Santos are currently fighting for their place in the 1st division in Brazilian football, and because of that, they are not focused on inking an extension with Neymar. They will discuss the situation with the Brazilian superstar at a high level before resuming contract talks with him.
Neymar returned to his boyhood team at the beginning of 2025, but his struggles with injuries continued, and he played only 21 games so far, scoring 6 goals and giving 3 assists. The Brazilian is not playing at the moment as he sustained his latest problem, a muscle injury, about a month ago.
