Not yet debuting the Saudi club, Neymar has planned to return to Barcelona for the 2026 World Cup

Neymar still has aspirations of playing at a subsequent World Cup.

Major European newspapers have stated that Neymar would be joining Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. However, a crucial aspect of the Brazilian star’s strategy was recently made public by L’ Equipe (France).

Neymar will specifically sign a 2-year deal with Al Hilal. The 2016 Olympic champion then intends to travel back to Europe and sign a free transfer with Barcelona. Neymar is confident that a season spent competing in La Liga’s elite league will prepare him for the 2026 World Cup in the best possible way.

Neymar has always desired to bring the Brazilian team a championship. The 2019 Copa America, where the Selecao won the title, was missed by the 31-year-old striker.
