Using the Heshtega “ThePrinceisBack”, Santos published a short video of the highlights of the 32-year-old youth before moving to Barcelona in 2013.
Neymar, still the most expensive footballer in the world after his relocation of 200 million pounds to Paris St. Germain in 2017, confirmed his upcoming return to social media publication on Thursday.

The return to his homeland comes after a spell, a spell in the Saudi Pro League al-Hilal, to whom he joined the summer of 2023, but played only seven matches for the previous crossed ligament and knee injuries.
Neymar made his debut for Santos at the age of 17 in 2009 and continued to score 136 goals in 225 games before moving to the Catalan giants.
After four seasons in Spain, which included Champions League and Laliga titles, Neymar landed his world record in PSG, with whom he spent the next six years.
Writing on social media on Thursday, Neymar said: “It has been nearly 12 years since I left (Santos) and that has been feeling like yesterday. My feelings for the club and fans have never changed. “
