The President of Santos, Marcelo Teixeira, has discussed the potential return of Neymar to the club in an interview with *Estadao*, which was reported by *CNN Brazil*.
Speaking on the matter, Teixeira stated, “We haven’t yet decided on the squad for the 2025 competitions.”
He further explained, “We cannot make hypothetical predictions about his arrival.”
“If he were to terminate his contract and become free, we are all aware of the connection with his family and the athlete,” Teixeira added.
“We are monitoring and following the situation and have a concrete project, which we have already discussed several times. We will continue to do so.”
Teixeira emphasised that now is not the time for Santos to rush decisions, saying: “The objective is to be in Serie A in 2025. From that moment, everything changes based on income, priorities, and ongoing projects.”
“Today, deluding ourselves in this regard affects Santos and Brazilian football too much. We must be prudent and cautious,” he concluded.
