Neymar’s emotional return hasn’t quite gone to plan, however, and he could now be set to leave once his contract expires at the end of the year.
According to Globo, his father/agent reached out to the club in hopes of negotiating a six-month extension, but the club are reluctant to do so.

He has since been heavily linked with a move to Inter Miami and a reunion with Messi, who he starred alongside at Barcelona.
