Neymar Considering a Return to European Elite

The European transfer market continues to generate surprises, and one of the latest rumors has Neymar, currently playing for Santos in Brazil, at its center. The Brazilian star, who returned a few months ago to the club where he began his career, is reportedly weighing another stint in European football—this time with Juventus in Serie A.

Neymar’s interest in a European comeback is driven by a clear goal: to be in peak form for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. While no official negotiations have been confirmed, the move wouldn’t be far-fetched, especially given the allure of competing again at the highest level and the presence of fellow Brazilian Gleison Bremer in the Bianconeri squad.

Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Bremer expressed his enthusiasm about potentially playing alongside the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star: “It would be fantastic to have someone like Neymar here at Juventus.” His remarks have fueled fans’ hopes of seeing the current No. 10 of Santos don the black and white stripes.

Comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Signing

Italian media have already drawn parallels between this possible signing and Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival in 2018. While they note it would be a more financially sustainable deal, they also acknowledge that Neymar’s global appeal would have a massive impact on and off the pitch.

The relationship between Neymar and Juventus has history. In 2015, the Brazilian played a starring role in the Champions League final, scoring the third goal in Barcelona’s 3-1 win over the Italian side. However, his talent and experience still make him an attractive option for the Turin giants.

For now, Neymar is not considered a top priority for Juventus, but even the mere rumor has generated significant buzz among supporters.
