Neymar is set to seal his return to his boyhood club Santos in Brazil this month and put an end to his horror spell at Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

It is still unclear how Neymar's move to Santos will be facilitated as he still has six months left on his contract with Al-Hilal. The two options that stand in front of the former Barcelona man remain: terminating his contract with the Saudi Pro League champions or a loan move to Brazil.
DID YOU KNOW?
As per Footmercato, Neymar has accepted a massive pay cut to facilitate his move to Santos this month, and his contract situation at Al-Hilal remains the only obstacle blocking his move.

Al-Hilal manager Jorge Jesus has given up on Neymar and has already revealed he will not be registered for the second half of the Saudi Pro League season. As such, a return to Santos this January is likely to go through sooner rather than later.
