- Story Text: Neymar's highly anticipated return to Santos FC has sparked excitement among fans, with some going to great lengths to honor the Brazilian football star.
An 18-year-old fan, Kaique Menezes, paid homage to Neymar by getting a tattoo on Wednesday (Jnuary 29) dedicated to him, symbolizing his admiration since childhood.
I've always liked his dribbling and have been inspired by him in football," Menezes said.
The return of Neymar to Santos comes after his contract termination with Saudi Pro League's Al Hilal, where injuries limited his appearances.
Santos President Marcelo Teixeira said on Tuesday (January 29) negotiations are still ongoing to finalize Neymar's comeback to the club he left in 2012.
