Too soon? Neymar leaving Saudi Arabia for Brazil in less than two months?

Iti911

Only two months after arriving, Neymar is already considering leaving Saudi Arabia to play in Brazil. His contract with Al Nassr extends until 2025, but Neymar's main goal is to participate in the 2026 Brazil World Cup. Therefore, he plans to return to Brazil in 2025 and join Santos FC. While playing domestically may not offer the high salary he receives in Saudi Arabia, it could enhance his chances of being selected for the 2026 World Cup.

The main reason for Neymar's desire to leave so soon is related to his performance. Despite being one of the biggest stars in the Saudi Arabian league and earning a high salary, Neymar has not consistently performed at the expected level. While he has had moments of excellence, he has spent more time in a mediocre state, drawing criticism from Al Nassr's coach. Neymar, on the other hand, believes that the coach, Jesús, is not qualified to criticize him, leading to discussions within the team.

Objectively, Neymar's character has limited his career potential. Despite his exceptional talent, his inconsistent attendance, along with a softer personality compared to Messi and Ronaldo, has prevented him from reaching the heights people expected of him. Moreover, Neymar's focus is not solely on football; his off-field chaotic personal life and diverse interests show that football is only one part of his life. All of these factors have constrained Neymar's football career.

Now, Neymar's desire to return to Brazil and play is not unexpected, as many have already foreseen this possibility. Personally, I am not optimistic about Brazil's chances of winning the 2026 World Cup under Neymar's leadership.

Neymar's personality does seem childlike at times, as if he hasn't matured, and he can't handle any setbacks. If I were the coach of the Brazilian national team, I wouldn't select him no matter where he plays.

This Neymar has quite a temper! He can't even accept criticism!

"Without exceptional mental attributes, what kind of success can you achieve with Brazil? If he can't adapt to the conditions in Saudi Arabia, it doesn't mean he will automatically dominate in Brazil. I don't think so.
The reason for his selection or non-selection in the national team is that he's acting like a spoiled child looking for his mother's comfort!"

Neymar, it's better to avoid too many tricks. Otherwise, you'll end up going nowhere and won't find success anywhere. Just focus on doing your job well.
