Santos register Neymar’s new contract in CBF’s BID | OneFootball

Neymar’s new contract was published in the CBF’s Daily Information Bulletin (BID) this Wednesday. With this, the attacking midfielder is cleared to play as soon as he recovers from the knee surgery he underwent.

The new agreement, announced last Tuesday, is valid until the end of the current season.

The attacking midfielder, who returned to Vila Belmiro in January 2025, had a contract with the club until December 31 of last year. However, the Santos board had already been in talks with the player and his staff since the end of the Brazilian Championship.

Santos’ idea is to provide all possible support so that Neymar is in top form for the 2026 World Cup. The 33-year-old attacking midfielder has not yet been called up for matches with the Brazilian National Team since Carlo Ancelotti took over as head coach, but he still hopes to be at the World Cup.

Neymar finished last season as Santos’ second top scorer, with 11 goals and four assists in 28 matches, 23 of them as a starter. The star also reached the milestone of 150 goals for Peixe and is very close to entering the top ten scorers in the club’s history.

The attacking midfielder does not have a set date to return to playing for Santos. In December, he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to treat a medial meniscus injury. At the moment, he is undergoing physical therapy at CT Rei Pelé.
