Neymar talks about contract renewal: I listened to my inner voice, and I felt real happiness in Santos

Santos officially announced that he would renew his contract with Neymar for 6 months, with the option of renewal. Neymar and son and Santos chairman Teixeira accepted an interview on the club's official website.

Nemar said: "I followed my inner voice and made this decision. Santos is not only the team I support, it is my home, my roots, my history and even my life. Here, I grew from a boy to a man and felt true love.

"Here, I can be the truest I am, and I feel true happiness here. I hope to realize my dreams that have not yet been realized in my career here and nothing will stop me. I leave, I return, I stay. This is where everything begins and it will never end. "

Teixeira said: "This is an important and memorable day in Brazil's football history and a gift to Santos fans. Our idols, our children, the prince wearing the No. 10 jersey will continue to stay here. For Santos in the reconstruction, we need Neymar very much whether on the court or off the court. ‘I leave, I return, I stay’ his words are symbolic and of great significance to Santos’ repositioning. ”

Neimar's father said: "This contract renewal was actually confirmed as early as February, and now we are just officially announcing it. Neymar is ready so we have enough time to train to make this season positive. It’s great to be with family, friends and the club we love in these few months, and Neymar’s return and staying at the team is very important.

"Things are going very well, now we just need to make him happy on the court, which is what we expect, isn't it? As long as Neymar is happy on the court, everyone will be happy. I also want to mention President Teixeira, who played a very important role in the early days of my son's career and now helps us when we meet again. We are here to help the club and he is willing to help us. We have started a very good partnership and we hope this will last for a long time."
