Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that deciding whether to include Neymar in his squad for the 2026 World Cup is weighing heavily on his mind. Despite the Santos forward’s legendary status, the Italian tactician is balancing the player's recent fitness struggles against his undeniable talent as the tournament approaches.
Santos are facing a catastrophic financial crisis that could see high-profile stars leave the club for absolutely nothing. A significant backlog in payments has reached a breaking point, leaving the Brazilian giants vulnerable to legal action from their biggest assets.
Lionel Messi has thrown his weight behind former team-mate Neymar, insisting the Santos superstar "deserves" to be part of Brazil's World Cup squad despite his recent struggles with injury. The Inter Miami captain described his close friend as a "very special" talent who remains one of the finest players on the planet.
Neymar Jr. proved once again that Vila Belmiro is his backyard by leading Santos to a 2-0 victory over Red Bull Bragantino. In an inspired performance, the number 10 not only scored a goal but also took an important step towards potentially securing his place on the final list of players called up for the Brazil national team for the 2026 World Cup.
Neymar has finally addressed the controversy surrounding his physical altercation with young team-mate Robinho Junior, offering a public apology following Santos' latest Copa Sudamericana outing. The Brazilian superstar admitted to losing his cool with the teenager during a heated training session over the weekend.
Tensions have reached a boiling point at Santos after a physical altercation between Neymar and Robinho Jr during a training session on Sunday. The young forward’s representatives are now reportedly demanding a formal public apology from the Brazil legend, threatening to escalate the matter as the club struggles to manage the fallout.
