Neymar is still eyeing a spot in the World Cup squad as negotiations regarding his contract with Santos remain unresolved. The Brazilian star, currently 34, is reportedly not being rushed by the club to extend his contract, which opens the door for rival teams to make their move.
Details: As reported by DiarioOle, Boca Juniors, a leading club in Argentina, is keen on signing Neymar once his contract with Santos expires. The delay from Santos in offering a new deal gives Boca Juniors the opportunity to form a formidable partnership between Neymar and fellow player Paulo Dybala, with the aim of enhancing their chances in the Copa Libertadores.
This season, Neymar has made 11 appearances for Santos, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists. Despite his club commitments, Neymar’s priority remains securing a place in the final Brazil squad for the upcoming World Cup. However, Brazil’s national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti has emphasized that Neymar will only be called up if he is fully fit.
