    Key Takeaways:

  • Fenerbahce offered Neymar a 1+1 year deal, aiming to capitalise on his global brand
  • Neymar wants to return to Europe to boost his World Cup chances under Ancelotti
  • The Brazilian also received offers from Aston Villa, Marseille, and five other clubs

Just a day after Galatasaray reached an agreement for Leroy Sane, their fierce rival in Turkish football, Fenerbahce have tabled a one-plus-one year contract offer to Santos star Neymar. The Brazilian forward is under contract with his current club until the end of the year, but it includes a clause allowing him to leave for free this summer if a European club makes an offer.

Neymar is determined to return to the European stage, believing that such a move will increase his chances of being called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the upcoming World Cup. That is his primary objective. At Fenerbahce, club officials believe the transfer would make financial sense, anticipating a commercial boom through shirt sales featuring Neymar’s name.

According to Fanatik, the 33-year-old has also received offers from Aston Villa and Marseille, in addition to five unnamed clubs. Meanwhile, Santos have proposed a contract extension in an attempt to keep hold of him.

Since rejoining Santos, Neymar has played 14 official matches, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
