Santos chief Marcelo Teixeira wants Neymar to stay with the club until the World Cup, but has warned the player that there are financial limits when it comes to agreeing a new contract.

The Brazil international’s future remains up in the air as the former Barcelona and PSG star approaches the end of his current contract.

Having recently recovered from a muscle injury, the 33-year-old finally returned to action in last weekend’s 1-1 draw against Fortaleza in Serie A. 

"The Neymar project isn’t for six months or a year. It’s for the 2026 World Cup. Santos knew how they would treat Neymar, the investment made,” said Teixeira.

“It’s a high investment. Santos and Neymar evaluate the situation periodically. We evaluated it when he came, and that evaluation isn't the same as today's. 

“And the financial situation will be evaluated by both parties until the end of the year. He's not worried about the finances. And Santos has a limit. 

"Neymar’s project is the 2026 World Cup. If we find common ground, his continuity will be confirmed. As long as Santos and Neymar, who have a strong and positive understanding of trust, reach a common ground. I believe we will resolve this situation at the right time."
