Nemar's contract with Santos will expire at the end of June, and it will be difficult for Neymar to continue to get the team's new contract with his current performance. Of course, Neymar is not willing to stay in this team for a long time, and he still has the idea of ​​returning to Europe, but the possibility of signing Neymar in the top league is not very high. According to Turkish media, the Turkish Super League giant Fenerbahce has contacted Neymar, and the club has provided him with a 1+1 contract. If the deal is reached, Neymar can join Fenerbahce for free.

In the past six months, Neymar has returned to Santos from the Saudi League, but is still frequently troubled by injuries, playing for the team in 12 games, scoring 3 goals and giving 3 assists. It is worth noting that Neymar's goals and assists all came from the São Paulo State Championship. After the team came to the Brazilian League, Neymar did not score goals and assists in four games, but instead won 3 yellow cards and 1 red card. His overall performance was far from expectations and it was difficult to gain the trust of the club. The most important thing for Neymar is whether he wants to continue to return to the Brazilian national team and participate in next year's World Cup. Neymar has earned a lot of money in the past few years, whether it is Paris Saint Gran or Saudi Arabia. If he does not have the goal of continuing his career or just regarding football as a part of his life, he does not need to return to Europe at all. Staying in the Brazilian League can still find a team, and even joining the American League is a good choice.

But if Neymar still dreams of participating in the World Cup, returning to Europe is his best choice. It can not only help him regain his form, but also allow him to focus more energy on football. After Ancelotti took office, Neymar still did not appear on the Brazilian national team's roster, and his injuries and condition were indeed difficult to bring too much help to the team. Although the Brazilian national team does need a Neymar type player, he is unable to compete with this role and it is difficult for him to become the core of the Brazilian team.

If Neymar finally chooses to accept Fenerbahce's invitation, his performance in the Turkish Premier League will determine whether Ancelotti will call him into the national team. In addition, Mourinho is still leading Fenerbahce. Although there have been news that Mourinho will leave this summer, there is no clear news yet. If both of them appear in Fenerbahce's lineup in the new season, their collaboration is indeed worth looking forward to, and the relationship between the two will also determine the team's performance.
