Neymar's father responds to reports of his return to Barcelona

The father of Brazilian star Neymar Jr. has settled the controversy over the possibility of his son returning to Barcelona, ​​stressing that his current focus is on helping Santos club in this important stage . Neymar had regained his brilliance after returning to his former team, where he shone in the last match against Agua Santa, scoring his first goal in Santos' 3-1 victory, which sparked speculation about his possible return to European stadiums, especially to Barcelona . However, his father came out to confirm in statements to the "TNT Sports" channel that these rumors are incorrect, saying: "Our project is not for only five months, even though Neymar's contract extends for this period. We did not come here for a short period, but to help Santos restructure it." He also referred to the positive relationship that brings them together with the Santos management, praising the role of President Marcelo Teixeira in supporting the team during this difficult stage . In turn, Neymar expressed his happiness to return to the Brazilian club, stressing that "this is the beginning of a great era for Santos", noting that he chose a short-term contract because he was not sure how ready he would be after returning to the stadiums . With these statements, it seems that Neymar will continue with Santos at least for the near future, while his return to Europe remains just unfounded speculation so far.
