Neymar (Santos)
November 2025
Neymar is running down his deal at Santos in a difficult return that has brought injuries and a relegation fight. With a European comeback off the table, his next step is expected within the Americas as he seeks a fresh start before the next World Cup. Boca Juniors, preparing for Copa Libertadores football in 2026, have emerged as a possible destination. Paredes said he stays in close contact with Neymar and stressed respect for Santos, but openly hinted that Boca would welcome him and are ready to wait if the forward chooses Buenos Aires.
