According to Globo Esporte , the Italian coach has had talks with key members of the Brazilian team to discuss potential players.

Neymar, Brazil's all-time leading goalscorer, held a video call with Ancelotti. The pair discussed Neymar's recent injury problems. Despite returning to Santos, the 33-year-old is still considered an important player for the national team.

Former Brazil striker Julio Baptista also believes Neymar's class is what Brazil need right now.

"Neymar is good enough to play in the World Cup. He is the best player in the national team, so we need to find a solution to use him," Baptista said.

Antony is backed to return to the Brazil team.

In addition, Antony also has the opportunity to return to the Brazilian national team after his convincing performance at Real Betis in recent months. Striker Diego Costa also supports the idea of Antony contributing to the Brazilian national team in the future.

“Antony has had a tough time with the allegations against him, but he is fine now. He is calmer, happier and more confident. If he continues to play like this, he will be a player who can play in the World Cup,” Costa analyzed.

In addition to Neymar and Antony, coach Carlo Ancelotti is also considering recalling Casemiro. The two have a close relationship having worked together at Real Madrid. In the past month, Casemiro also had a good performance, helping MU reach the Europa League final.

Ancelotti has signed a contract until the end of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Italian coach's debut match with Brazil is scheduled for June 6, against Ecuador in the South American World Cup qualifiers.
