The Neymar who shone in Europe and dazzled half the world could be facing a new challenge: returning to Rio de Janeiro to wear the Fluminense shirt. The Tricolor has already begun planning for the 2026 season and has set the number 10 of Santos as an absolute priority to lead an ambitious project in Brazilian football.

Fluminense's plan: to bring Neymar back for its revival

Fluminense is undergoing a process of structural and sporting renewal. The board sees in Neymar the ideal name to boost its image, attract sponsors, and restore enthusiasm to the fans.
The Brazilian star, currently playing for Santos, is not experiencing his best moment. Injuries, lack of continuity, and emotional wear seem to have taken a toll on him in recent months.

The opportunity to change environments appeals to the player, who would be willing to listen to Fluminense's proposal. The carioca club has already made initial contacts to explore the feasibility of the transfer, aware that it would be one of the most media-covered moves in recent history of Brazilian football.

Neymar's current context at Santos

The return of Neymar to Santos at the beginning of 2025 was received as a national celebration. However, the reality has been much grayer. Amid physical problems and inconsistent performance, the forward has had little continuity, generating doubts in his environment and within the club.

His relationship with part of the fans has cooled, and the player is beginning to consider the idea of undertaking a new challenge within Brazilian football, but far from Vila Belmiro. In this scenario, Fluminense presents itself as the most attractive destination: a competitive team with a solid project and a base of experienced players that could enhance his talent.

An operation as complex as it is exciting

Securing the arrival of Neymar won't be an easy task. Fluminense would have to negotiate with Santos, adjust the player's salary to the local market reality, and convince Neymar that this step could rejuvenate his career.
Nevertheless, the club believes that the media and sporting impact would justify the financial effort. Bringing the forward on board would mean a qualitative leap not only for Tricolor but also for the Brazilian league, which aims to recover globally renowned figures.

The player's entourage, on the other hand, does not rule out the operation. Neymar knows that at Fluminense, he would find a more stable and competitive environment, as well as the opportunity to reconnect with the affection of the Brazilian public and prepare for his final active years.

A move that could shake Brazilian football

The potential arrival of Neymar at Fluminense would be much more than a mere signing. It would represent a symbol of the new economic and sporting power of some Brazilian clubs, determined to compete with the continent's giants.
For the player, it would signify an emotional and professional change: leaving behind Santos, his footballing home, to embark on a new challenge in a club that offers a different challenge and the opportunity to shine once again in a competitive environment.

At Fluminense, the excitement is growing. The board is confident that 2026 will be the year for a major statement, with Neymar as the standard-bearer of a high-aiming project seeking to restore Brazil to the glory of its prime.
