Unexpected destination for Neymar

Neymar could leave Santos in 2026 and continue playing in Brazil.

Neymar is wanted by Fluminense.

After returning to Santos in early 2025, Neymar was welcomed as a hero of Brazilian football. However, that joy quickly turned to disappointment.

Persistent injuries, inconsistent form and pressure from fans have left the 33-year-old striker no longer happy at Vila Belmiro. In that context, Fluminense, a team based in Rio de Janeiro, are planning to make a splash by bringing Neymar to lead an ambitious rebuilding project for the 2026 season.

According to UOL , the Fluminense board considers Neymar the “perfect piece” to raise the club’s profile, attract sponsorship and rekindle the passion of the fans. The team believes that the arrival of the former Barcelona and PSG star will not only help them compete for domestic titles, but also affirm the position of Brazilian football on the world map.

However, this deal is not easy. Fluminense will have to convince Santos to release him, and at the same time adjust Neymar's huge salary to suit the reality in the country. However, Neymar's side is said to be willing to listen, because he needs a stable and inspiring environment to restart his career.

If the deal goes through, it will not only be a blockbuster deal, but also a symbol of the rise of Brazilian football, where local clubs are gradually regaining their appeal.
