Santos fans gathered outside Vila Belmiro stadium on Friday (January 31) to welcome Neymar back to his boyhood club.
The soccer fans chanted slogans and waved flags with the face of the Brazilian player on them as they waited anxiously to enter the stadium for Neymar's welcoming event.
The Brazilian superstar announced his return to Santos on social media on Thursday (January 30), ending his brief stint with Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal.
Neymar began his career with Santos in 2009 aged 17, racking up 136 goals and 64 assists in 225 matches to help the club secure their first Copa Libertadores title in nearly 50 years in 2011.
He joined Barcelona in 2013, winning two LaLiga titles, three Copa del Rey trophies and the 2015 Champions League.
Neymar has 128 caps and a record 79 goals for his country, surpassing Pele's tally of 77. He was also part of Brazil's gold medal-winning squad at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and helped them finish runners-up to Argentina in the 2021 Copa America.
He moved to PSG from Barca in 2017 for a world-record fee of 222 million euros and won five French league titles with the capital club.
