Former Barcelona superstar, Neymar has renewed his contract with boyhood club Santos until December.
The 33-year-old Brazilian forward initially returned to Santos in January on a six-month deal after his contract with Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal was terminated.
Neymar expressed his commitment to Santos, saying, "Santos is not just my team, it's my home, my roots, my history, and my life."
He emphasized his desire to fulfill his dreams with the club, stating: "This is where I want to fulfill the dreams that are missing in my career. And nothing's going to stop me."
Santos president Marcelo Teixeira hailed the contract renewal as a historic moment for Brazilian football.
"It is a historic and remarkable day for Brazilian football, a gift for the fans of Santos FC," he said. Teixeira added that Neymar's presence is crucial for the club's reconstruction process, both on and off the field.
Neymar has had an illustrious career, scoring 79 goals in 128 appearances for Brazil and 141 goals in 243 appearances for Santos.
Despite a knee injury that kept him out of the Brazil squad for 17 months, Neymar has expressed his desire to continue playing for Santos and potentially extend his contract beyond December.
