The present of Brazilian star Neymar is not the most encouraging. The 32-year-old is still recovering from a serious injury suffered in October and is expected to miss the rest of the season in the Arab League with Al Hilal.

Recently the Brazilian was seen in Miami, where he attended sporting events such as the Miami Open to see Carlos Alcaraz, the NBA and even the MLB, where he had the opportunity to make the initial pitch in a Marlins game.

This presence of Neymar in South Florida fueled rumors of a possible incorporation to Inter Miami for next season. Something that, if it becomes a reality, would bring together the well-known “MSN” offensive trident made up of Messi, Suárez and Neymar and that became popular between 2014 and 2017 at FC Barcelona.

However, it seems that these rumors were quickly denied and even some reports from Brazil claim that Neymar’s future plans are totally different. Well the middle UOL Sporte reports that the footballer would be thinking about returning to Santos as soon as his contract in Saudi Arabia ends.

According to the Brazilian newspaper, Neymar, who was present in the Paulista Cup final against Palmeiras, would have gone down to the Santos locker room and promised to return home for the 2025 season.

However, in Miami it seems that they do not lose hope of seeing the Brazilian alongside Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi. These rumors were also increased by a recent photo of Neymar with David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami.

Neymar grew up as a footballer in Santos. He has been part of the team since he was a child and it was there where he made himself known to make his jump to Europe.

In four seasons with Santos he played 140 games, in which he scored 72 goals and distributed 34 assists. He also won a Brazilian Cup, a Copa Libertadores and a South American Cup Winners’ Cup. Until 2013, FC Barcelona paid close to $90 million dollars for his transfer.
