The South American press has reignited the saga surrounding Neymar's future, whose contract with Santos FC expires in December. Underlying this is a question that is currently on everyone's mind in Brazil: will the Brazilian star be present at the next World Cup?

Long considered unlikely, this prospect could be revived by injuries to key attacking players, such as Rodrygo and Estêvão Willian. The issue even extends beyond the realm of sports, as President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has publicly expressed his support for the former Paris Saint-Germain player's return to the national team.

The final decision, however, rests with national team coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian manager has never ruled out Neymar's return, while making it conditional on him being fully fit. "If he's at 100%, he can participate," he reiterated, emphasizing the importance of physical condition in his selections.

Before the final squad announcement, Neymar will also have to decide on his club future. Having scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 6 matches this season, he is already attracting interest from other clubs. A contract extension with Santos remains a possibility, but other options are emerging.

Among them, the one leading to Boca Juniors is particularly intriguing. According to the Argentinian daily Olé, the Buenos Aires club dreams of making a big splash to reclaim the Copa Libertadores. After making progress on the Paulo Dybala deal, the club's management reportedly sees Neymar as the centerpiece of their project.

The Brazilian's recent appearance in Buenos Aires, where he notably reunited with his former PSG teammate Ander Herrera, has fueled speculation, as have his links with Leandro Paredes. Officially, no negotiations have been confirmed on the Argentinian side. But the possibility of seeing Neymar set foot on the Bombonera pitch no longer seems so improbable.
