Brazil forward, Neymar Jr, has he hinted he could retire at the end of the year after being hampered by injuries.
However, Neymar has admitted he holds hope of playing at the 2026 World Cup first.
The ex-Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain striker returned in January 2025 to his boyhood club Santos from Saudi club Al-Hilal.
After an injury-interrupted first season, he extended his contract until the end of 2026 but then missed the start of the Brazilian season in January after undergoing knee surgery in late December.
“I don’t know what will happen from now on, I don’t know about next year,” the striker told Brazilian online channel Caze. “It may be that when December comes, I’ll want to retire. I’m living year to year now.”
He made his return as a second-half replacement in a São Paulo championship match on February 16, 11 days after his 34th birthday.
