To the naked eye, that was nothing but an emotional move back home to see out his career by giving back to the club and the country that made Neymar into the superstar that he is today. After all, returning to your boyhood club is a move we see very often in football. Thiago Silva left Europe and returned to his first club Fluminense last year, Buffon ended his career at his first club Parma, and Santi Cazorla rejoined his boyhood club Real Oviedo in 2023 despite the fact that they play in the second tier of Spanish football.
It’s just a very common theme in football and it’s usually so sweet when players do it. But while we’re sure that there’s some emotional angle to this move, that was not Neymar’s main motivation when he gave up about 40 million euros in wages at Al-Hilal to return to Santos mid-season. There’s a much bigger picture here and we’re about to show it to you today.
