The 34-year-old Brazilian forward Neymar has commented on the speculation surrounding a potential exit from football. The striker stated that he does not yet know what his future holds after his current agreement with «Santos» expires in December.
The player intends to focus on his performances for his hometown club and will only determine his next move at the end of the season.
Neymar's statements on his future:
I don’t know how much longer I will be playing. I’m not thinking about retirement, but I also don’t know until when I will continue. I have a contract with «Santos» until December. I want to fulfil it fully and represent the club as best as I can.
After that, when the contract ends, I will think about my next step. I will decide whether to stay at «Santos», leave, change clubs, retire, or continue playing. To be honest, I still don’t know what I will do. December is still a long way off. We will take it step by step, game by game.
Additionally, Neymar confirmed his retirement from the Brazilian national team following their exit from the 2026 World Cup. However, both the footballer and his father publicly expressed hope for his return to the national side, although the player is currently focused solely on fulfilling «Santos»' objectives in domestic and South American cups.
