Neymar and his son talk about contract extension: It is under consideration, everything is possible

Brazilian star Neymar's father and agent has hinted that his son is considering a new contract with Santos.
Neymar's contract with Santos was originally scheduled to expire in June this year. In this regard, Neymar Sr. said in an interview with Brazil's TNT Sports TV station: "(Santos Club President) Marcelo Teixeira gave me the opportunity to help Santos and let me introduce partners to Santos. At present, the club is facing a difficult time. In order to achieve reconstruction, we must reach the right level and make Neymar happy here."
"Our plans are not limited to five months and a contract extension is under consideration. Our goal here is not just to play five months of games, but to provide Santos with a chance to rebuild, to help the club find partners and revitalize."
Neymar, 32, was born in the youth training of Santos and made his professional debut in the Sao Paulo State League in Brazil on March 7, 2009. He helped Santos win the Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana and Copa Brazil, and then played for Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Hilal.
At the end of last month, Neymar returned to Santos as a free agent after terminating his contract with Al-Hilal. He played for Santos again on February 6 and has played in four games in the Sao Paulo Championship in Brazil so far.
In this game, Neymar contributed one goal and one assist in 85 minutes, ending a goal drought of 502 days. After the game, he responded cautiously to the contract issue: "Let's relax. When we sign a contract, we consider not only the two parties, but also the support and help between each other. Santos gave me the opportunity to reconnect football and happiness. I did not sign a long-term contract because I was not sure about my situation and feelings after returning. Everything is possible."
"Santos knows my love and respect for it. As long as I am on the field, I will give my all. Let's stay calm, wait for the moment and enjoy the game. This is the beginning of a great era for Santos and I believe Santos will rise again and return to the top."
