Neymar is also on holiday and awaiting the return of the Brasileirão, paused by the Club World Cup.

Does the Prince of Santos stay?

Neymar is tied to Peixe until the end of June and has yet to decide his future at the club. The deal for a renewal until June next year is done, but Santos want to convince the star to stay until December 2026.

In no hurry to sign a new contract, Neymar is due to reappear at the Rei Pelé training centre on 27 June. The player doesn't rule out a move to Europe if the right offer comes along, although he has assured Peixe that he won't negotiate with another team in Brazil.
