Neymar He has not yet made a public statement on whether or not he decides to renew with the Saintswho wants the former Barça and PSG winger to continue at least until the World Cup, or in other words, until next summer of 2026. Although they have asked him in recent weeks – before the Brazilian championship ended – about his future, the footballer’s answers have always been vague.
The one who has spoken in the last few hours is the Santos sports director, Alexandre Mattos, who is confident in convincing him to continue for half a year more, thus extending a contract that expires now. Mattos follows the negotiations with optimism and emphasizes that money will not be, nor has it ever been, a problem for the player to remain at Santos.
“I’m going to ask for your sensitivity, because it’s obvious that this is a matter of magnitude. Obviously, we’ve talked a lot. He’s at Santos because he wants to be, and he wants to be here because he’s happy to be at Santos. The financial aspect has never been an obstacle or a reason for a change. When Neymar arrived, he knew that the team was rebuilding, we came from Serie B, and that it would be difficult to fight for the Brazilian championship, even though we worked for it. Neymar is here because he wants to be, I see it very happy,” Mattos insisted to ‘ge’.

According to the director, there is no reason to rush the resolution of the matter. Neymar is on vacation and the matter will be resolved as the team’s return approaches. “I think it’s something that will happen naturally. It’s his home and he will always welcome it with open arms. I think it will happen naturally, in due time. He’s on vacation, he needs to take care of some business, and the president is handling it the way he should.”
