According to authoritative insider Fabrizio Romano, Neymar has signed a new contract with Santos, which runs until December 2026. (The previous agreement expired on December 31, 2025.)

This decision was the logical conclusion of a dramatic season. Neymar has shown incredible loyalty to the club that nurtured him as a footballer. Despite the serious damage, the striker continued to take the field in critical matches at the end of the season.

It was Neymar’s dedication and leadership qualities that became the key factor that allowed Santos to keep their place in the elite division and avoid a historic relegation.

The football player has repeatedly emphasized that his goal is to prepare for the 2026 World Cup precisely within his native walls, where he feels the greatest support.
