“Come on, it’s (expletive),” was the answer Piero Ausilio, Inter Milan‘s sporting director, when asked during a recent interview about the possible signing of Neymar in the near future Corriere dello Sport. “Never heard of him and never offered him… (Expletive).”
These rumors surfaced just days after similar ones reports linked Ney with another Serie A side: Napoli.

What’s next for Neymar at Santos?
Growing rumors that Neymar could join a European club are not just about the appeal of a return to top-flight football. They also reflect the growing uncertainty surrounding his future Santos.
Had Neymar’s return to his boyhood club gone as planned, his future would likely already be clear: a contract extension in Brazil or a well-planned move abroad. But constant injuries – and sometimes disappointing performances – have made the situation much harder to predict.
It is not even certain that Santos plans to offer the attacker a new deal. His current contract expires on December 31 this year. According to ESPNDoubts about Neymar’s physical condition and his high salary are factors that the club’s executives are evaluating before deciding on an extension.
When will Neymar return to the pitch?
In this context, Neymar’s continued absence from the pitch – now over a month – does not help. He last played on September 14, in a 1–1 draw between Santos and Atletico Mineiro in Brazilian Serie A. The forward has since been sidelined with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of Santos’ last five games. Carlo Ancelotti‘s Brazilian national team call-up list.
Ney is currently in the final stages of recovery from that injury. While a one-month period is generally reasonable for a muscle problem, the attacker’s injury history calls for extra caution. For that reason, his return is expected sometime in November, when he will look to help Santos avoid relegation in the latter part of the season.
