Neymar To Play in Brazil Serie B as Santos Close To Getting Relegated

Santos is deeply involved in the fight to avoid relegation, as they are set to face Palmeiras in a crucial match in the Brazilian Serie A. Santos FC continues to miss their star forward Neymar Jr. The absence of the former Barcelona superstars due to injury issues has definitely affected Santos. Since his return to his childhood club from Al Hilal, Neymar has managed only 20 appearances, in which he has scored seven goals and provided four assists. Neymar is nearing the end of his contract with Santos, with reports suggesting that the club remains in a dilemma over his future amid concerns of getting relegated to the Brazil second division, Serie B.

Will Santos Get Relegated To Brazil Serie B?

The mood in Vila Belmiro is tense. Santos FC, one of Brazil's most storied clubs, faces relegation to Serie B for the second time in its history. Neymar in Serie B? It's no longer a wild rumour. With Santos FC teetering on the edge of relegation from Serie A, fans might be shocked to see a player of legendary status like Neymar playing second division football. Once home to Pele's stardom, Santos FC are reeling at the 17th spot in the Brasileirao as they try to avoid relegation to the Brazil second division. One thing is clear: Santos fans seem not quite optimistic about the remaining fixtures, which include two games against Palmeiras, plus matches against Flamengo, Cruzeiro, and bold Mirasol.

Is World Cup Dream Over for Neymar?

Brazil fans are patiently waiting for Neymar to put on the national team colours once more as the FIFA World Cup approaches. The former PSG man has struggled to get back to his best form due to ongoing ailments and his ligament tear. He has not represented the Brazil national football team since 2023, when they lost 2-0 to Uruguay. Neymar had to be stretched off in stoppage time of the first half in that game, and Brazil's worst fears came true after he was diagnosed with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Before hanging up his boots, the Brazilian would definitely look to make an effort to secure the coveted World Cup title.
