After netting a hat-trick last night against EC Juventude (3-0), Santos captain Neymar Jr opened up about his future.

Neymar carried Santos to victory over EC Juventude (3-0) in the league last night. While his club currently sits 14th in the standings and still needs to secure safety on the final matchday this Sunday, the former Barça winger, whose contract expires this December, kept the uncertainty alive regarding his next move.

"My future? I don't know. Honestly, I have no idea. First, I want to finish this season, complete the Brazilian championship, and then I'll think about it. My priority remains Santos," Neymar told Amazon Prime.

It's worth noting that if Neymar hopes to play in the 2026 World Cup with Brazil, he cannot afford to make a misstep in his next career decision.
