Brazilian superstar Neymar has a close friendship with injuries. Due to injuries, this Brazilian footballer has to spend more time outside the field than on the field. He was sidelined for a year with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. After returning to the field, the Brazilian star got injured again without playing two matches. This injury-ravaged superstar has become a burden to Al Hilal.
According to the media, Al Hilal wants to release Neymar, bought for a large amount of money, in the January transfer market. Because Al Hilal’s contract with Neymar expires in June next year. This time, Neymar will leave Saudi Arabia and return to his home country, Brazil, to join his childhood club, Santos. Spanish sports daily Sport also claimed a few days ago that the 32-year-old star forward has given the green signal to the Santos authorities.
Since Neymar will return to Brazil, why only Santos; Any other club can buy him. As Palmeiras Santos’ city rivals are Sao Paulo’s club, it is natural that they would also be interested in Neymar.
However, the president of Palmeiras Leila Pereira poured water on that possibility at the beginning. The 60-year-old female sports organizer and businessman spoke about the injured Neymar in an interview with the Brazilian media ‘ULO’. But he also praised Neymar’s game.
Palmeiras president Leila Pereira said in an interview that an unfit player like Neymar is not needed in the team, ‘Neymar is not wanted in Palmeiras. Because this club is not a medical department. I want someone who can come into the team immediately, can play tomorrow as the coach wants. I will not accept someone unfit signing for a club.’
Leila Pereira praised Neymar and said, ‘He is a very big player. But he will not come here, he will go to Santos. I don’t know exactly though. You have to ask Santos that question. I have no problem with that.’
Leila Pereira has been the president of Palmeiras since 2021. Apart from being a sports organizer and businessman, he is also known as a lawyer and journalist. According to UOL, within 3 years, Leila has become the most famous and popular sports director in Brazil. He is going to be the main candidate in Palmeiras presidential election next year.
