Neymar has scored his first goal for Santos since returning to Brazil. Finding the net from the spot in a Sao Paulo state championship match will provide the 33-year-old forward some relief after a tough restart in Brazil.

Neymar has officially returned to Brazilian soccer. After a warm reception at Vila Belmiro in January, the Brazilian star scored his first goal of 2025 with his boyhood club, Santos, in Matchday 10 of the 2025 Campeonato Paulista against Agua Santa.

Neymar said he was left speechless after making his first appearance for Santos since returning to the Brazilian club where he began his illustrious career.

Brazil star Neymar, who rejoined boyhood club Santos last month, has thanked the team and fans for helping him "rediscover joy" following the end of his long goal drought in Sunday's 3-1 win over Agua Santa.

Neymar wants to continue at Santos beyond this summer, according to his father and agent Neymar da Silva Santos Sr.

Neymar wants to "take it easy" and explained his rationale behind signing a six-month contract at Santos amid sensational Barcelona return talks.

After months of anticipation and battling injuries, forward Neymar Jr finally had his moment of joy back in his homeland with Santos FC during the match against Água Santa in the Campeonato Paulista.
