Brazil striker Neymar says he is considering retiring at the end of the year. But he hopes to play in the World Cup for his country this summer. Neymar rejoined his boyhood club Santos from Saudi club Al-Hilal in January 2025 and extended his contract until the end of 2026. "I don't know what will happen from now on, I don't know about next year," he told Brazilian online channel Caze. However he last featured for the national team in October 2023 and admitted it was a "huge challenge" to force his way into Carlo Ancelotti's World Cup squad.
