Neymar edging closer to sensational Santos homecoming

Neymar appears set to put an end to his nightmare spell in Saudi Arabia, with it reported he is close to returning to his boyhood club Santos.

Brazil's all-time top goalscorer is close to completing a six-month loan to Santos as he looks to recapture the magic he once displayed week-in-week-out, long before his ill-fated move to Al-Hilal. Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Santos have tabled an official offer to Al-Hilal and are close to beating a host of MLS clubs to a sensational coup. Should Neymar finalise the switch, he will see out the remaining time on his contract with the Saudi Arabian club on loan at Santos.
