The agreement means the 33 year old will continue his career in Brazil rather than pursuing a move abroad in the immediate future. For Santos, the extension provides continuity and secures one of the most high profile figures in Brazilian football for the upcoming campaign.
While longer term plans remain undecided, the new contract offers clarity around Neymar’s short term future and allows both player and club to focus on the season ahead.
