Neymar's return to boyhood club Santos is a heartwarming one, given the nightmare 15 months from which he's just emerging. An ACL tear in October 2023 meant he only ended up playing seven games for his previous club, Al Hilal, despite costing $94m in transfer fees and another $161m per year in wages.
