Neymar is set to make a sentimental return to Santos, the club where he began his professional career, and will wear the iconic #10 shirt made famous by Brazilian legend Pelé.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Neymar will don the revered jersey as a tribute to Pelé, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
The 32-year-old forward's return to Santos comes after Al Hilal announced the termination of his contract on Monday. Neymar is expected to sign a six-month contract with the option of an additional year at Santos.
Neymar's homecoming marks a significant moment in his career, which has seen him play for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. He made his professional debut with Santos in 2009 and led the club to a Copa Libertadores triumph in 2011.
The Brazilian superstar has had a storied career, winning numerous titles and individual accolades. He has scored a record 79 goals for Brazil in 128 appearances and was part of the team that won the gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Neymar's return to Santos is expected to be finalized soon, with the player potentially arriving in Brazil as early as Wednesday to sign the deal.
