Neymar has ruled out the possibility of immediate retirement, insisting he remains fully focused on helping Santos before making any decisions about the next chapter of his career. The Brazilian forward, whose current contract runs until December, said he is committed to giving his best for the club before evaluating his future.
Softfootball reported that Neymar’s latest comments come despite his earlier admission that his career is entering its final stages, having previously described his last World Cup as the closing chapter of his international journey. However, the 34-year-old has now made it clear that retirement is not currently on his mind.
“I’m not thinking about retirement,”
Neymar said.
I’m under contract at Santos until December, I want to do my best for the club. After that, I will consider my options.
The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star also admitted that nothing has been decided regarding what comes next.
Stay, leave, retire, keep playing… I don’t know! There’s still time until December. We’ll see.
Neymar’s comments leave the door open to several possibilities, including extending his stay at Santos, pursuing another move abroad or continuing his playing career elsewhere. For now, the Brazilian icon remains focused on finishing the season strongly, with any decision over his future expected to be made once his current contract expires later this year.
