Former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Neymar has been linked with a sensational return to Europe.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Santos forward has reportedly held talks with Ligue 1 side Marseille, who share a bitter rivalry with PSG.<\/p>\n

Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 last season, trailing winners PSG by 19 points. If the transfer to Marseille pans out, Neymar will be able to compete in the Champions League next season.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular footballers on the planet, Neymar, has had a rough couple of years. In the summer of 2023, the 2014\/15 Treble winner joined Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal. Neymar secured one of the most lucrative contracts in football history, but he could not live up to expectations.<\/p>\n

Plagued by injuries, Neymar only played seven games for Al-Hilal, scoring just once, before his contract was terminated. The Brazil captain earned a whopping \u00a3129.90 million (\u20ac150 million) in wages<\/a> despite playing just two games for Al-Hilal in 2024.<\/p>\n

Neymar Transfer News: Brazilian Could Return to Europe With Marseille<\/h2>\n

In January 2025, Neymar moved to his boyhood club Santos, but his struggles persist. The Peixe are sitting in 17th place in the Brasileirao with 15 points. They crashed out of the Copa do Brasil after losing to second-division Regatas. And they lost the Paulista semifinals to Corinthians, with Neymar watching on from the bench.<\/p>\n

Battling with niggling injuries, Neymar has only played 16 games for Santos, scoring four goals and providing three assists. The 33-year-old has also had a fallout with Santos fans, which makes the Marseille switch all the more likely.<\/p>\n
