Former Brazil captain Neymar said he is thinking of retiring at the end of the year after being hampered by injuries but hopes to go to the World Cup first.

The ex-Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain striker returned in January 2025 to his boyhood club Santos from Saudi club Al-Hilal.
After an injury-interrupted first season he extended his contract until the end of 2026 but then missed the start of the Brazilian season in January after undergoing knee surgery in late December.
"I don’t know what will happen from now on, I don’t know about next year,” the striker told Brazilian online channel Caze. “It may be that when December comes, I'll want to retire. I'm living year to year now.”
He made his return as a second-half replacement in a Sao Paulo championship match on February 16, 11 days after his 34th birthday.
“Obviously, I wanted to come back to help my team in the best way possible, but I ended up holding back a little so I could come back 100 per cent," he said.
