Neymar Jr. has extended his contract with Santos until December 2025, as reported by Cahemota today.
Despite recent rumors, particularly at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup transfer window, about a potential return to Europe, Neymar has extended his contract further to keep him at the club.
The Neymar Jr. contract extension means that the Brazilian international will stay at the club for the rest of the Brasileirão season.
The new deal will give Neymar the opportunity to reassess his options and decide his future in the January transfer window, which leaves the door still open for a possible move elsewhere.
This breaking news surely ends weeks of rumors that were suggesting Neymar’s possible return to Europe with links to Fenerbahçe and strengthens Santos’ attacking options as they push for a strong finish in the league.

European Clubs Will Have to Wait
His contract extension with Santos means that those European teams that were interested in getting his signature will have to wait until the January transfer window.
Fenerbahçe, who has been an admirer of Neymar, will have to look at other options to strengthen their attack for next season. There were certain reports that suggested that Inter Miami has emerged as a potential destination for Neymar, as the team would like to see Messi and Suarez reuniting with Neymar.
But Messi came out to debunk it, stating that Neymar’s transfer to Inter Miami would be difficult. Now, after a difficult half-season parked with injuries, Neymar has decided to stay until December to reassess his future.
