Part 3/8:
For Santos, securing Neymar would likely transform the team's fortunes, affecting everything from market value and merchandise sales to attracting sponsorships and media attention. The presence of a star player often revitalizes a club’s image and fan engagement. The transformation could also alter the dynamics of the Campeonato Brasileiro, providing much-needed excitement.
From Neymar's perspective, returning to Santos could provide a platform for rehabilitation as he readies himself for future international competitions, including a possible next World Cup. Given his injury history over the past few years, particularly during his time in Saudi Arabia, returning to a familiar and less physically demanding environment could be advantageous for him.
