Neymar is the target of Pachuca for the Club World Cup

Six months after his tearful return to Santos, Neymar’s future is once again in the news. After an unimpressive stint with Al-Hilal, the Brazilian star returned to his boyhood club in January. Since then, he has had a difficult time at home, filled with both recurrent ailments and moments of brilliant play.

Neymar has chosen to keep quiet about his future until after Santos’ game on June 12 in light of the fact that his contract is slated to expire on June 30.

Neymar has apparently attracted the attention of Pachuca, a Mexican team preparing for the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States, despite making references to a potential stay in Brazil. Marca Mexico claims that the Liga MX team is eager to sign the 33-year-old on a one-month contract just for the competition.

Pachuca’s bold bid is viewed as a calculated attempt to raise their name internationally. Although it’s unknown if Neymar would accept such a short-term deal, the offer is indicative of the growing trend of teams looking to sign big names for short-term influence in prestigious tournaments. The story of Neymar’s next stop is far from over, regardless of whether he takes Pachuca’s offer or waits for a return to Europe.
