"If we find common ground, his continuity will be confirmed. [That is] as long as Santos and Neymar, who have a strong and positive understanding of trust, reach a common ground. I believe we will resolve this situation at the right time."
"Santos and Neymar evaluate the situation periodically."
"We evaluated it when he came, and that evaluation isn't the same as today's. And the financial situation will be evaluated by both parties until the end of the year. He's not worried about the finances. And Santos has a limit."
Neymar's contract with Santos expires in December and continuity at the club depends on reaching common ground over a new deal tied to his 2026 World Cup plans. Neymar aims to play at his fourth World Cup and has not featured for Brazil since an ACL injury in October 2023. He spent time at Al Hilal before rejoining Santos in January to regain form. Recurring muscular problems have limited his appearances and delayed a national-team return. Financial terms are being evaluated by both parties through the end of the year, with money not the primary concern. Santos sit 16th in the league.
