Neymar Jr. has finally settled upon a contract extension with Santos, which will keep the Brazilian icon at his boyhood club until December 2026, clearing up his future ahead of the all-important World Cup next summer.
The 33-year-old has flirted with an exit for months. A potential reunion with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez at Inter Miami was spectacularly floated before being quickly dismissed, and there was talk of all sorts of transfers for the most expensive player of all time. Neymar’s focus, predictably, revolves around getting into the best possible shape for the World Cup, where his place on the plane is contingent on being fully fit.
