After nearly 12 years away from Brazil, Neymar, the world’s most expensive footballer, has returned back to his boyhood club in a true full circle moment.
Fans and collectors have the unique opportunity to own a piece of Neymar and Brazilian history, as his match-issued and signed shirt on his return to Santos is now available to bid on via MatchWornShirt.com, the home of match-worn and signed sporting memorabilia.
When Pele passed away in 2023, Santos retired the iconic number 10 shirt worn by the three-time World Cup winner. Now, with the so-called ‘heir to the throne’ back at the club in a ground-breaking transfer, Neymar dons the once retired number 10 shirt, a number he has worn for the majority of his career.
During his first stint with the club, Neymar played in 225 matches, scoring 136 goals, and assisting 66 times. He also lifted three trophies, including a Copa Libertadores.
Neymar’s match-issued Santos shirt will be available from their match vs Botafogo SP on Thursday 6th February and will be available for fans to bid on until Saturday 15th February.
Along with this shirt, on MatchWornShirt’s website and app are also printed and signed shirts of Neymar’s famous handwritten message which he wrote on the Santos changing rooms when he left “Eu vou, mas… eu volto. Toiss” which translates to “I’m going, but… I’ll be back.”.
