Brazil superstar Neymar is closing in on a return to former club Santos, sources have told ESPN.
Neymar currently remains on the books of Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, but the team's manager Jorge Jesus said earlier in January that the Brazilian attacker can "no longer play at the level we are used to," and as a result wasn't registered to play in the Saudi Pro League, leaving Neymar eligible to play only in the Asian Champions League.
As a consequence, Neymar has been looking for his next playing opportunity, and appears to have found it with the club at which he began his professional career.
