Neymar has confirmed he will be re-joining boyhood club Santos, 12 years after he first left to join Barcelona as one of the most promising youngsters to ever come out of Brazil.

Neymar has returned to Santos, his boyhood club. BBC Sport looks back at his time with Barcelona, PSG and Al-Hilal, and considers what might happen next for Brazil's record scorer.

"Only Santos can give me the love that I need to prepare for the challenges I have in the next few years. All of you, no matter who you support, know well what I am talking about,” Neymar said on his social media channels. “I hope you all follow me in this new phase of my life.”
