Santos president Marcelo Teixeira believes the club has a 'concrete project' that would convince Al-Hilal striker Neymar to move back to his homeland next year.
The 32-year-old's deal with the Saudi Pro League giants expires in the summer, but recent reports claimed that they are considering terminating his deal as early as January.
If this actually were to happen, Santos would be more than happy to offer the veteran star a deal.
Teixeira told Estadao, per CNN Brazil: "We haven’t decided on the 2025 competitions yet. We can’t make hypothetical assumptions. If he cancels his contract, if he becomes free, we have a connection with his family and the athlete. We monitor, follow up, and have a concrete project that we’ve already discussed a few times. We’ll continue to monitor.
"This is not the time for Santos to rush into anything. The need is to be in the Serie A by 2025. Then, everything changes based on revenues and priorities, and ongoing projects. Today, making any hopes in this sense affects Santos and Brazilian football too much. We have to be careful and cautious."
