Neymar was once again the center of attention in Brazil. His exhibition against Juventude - three goals for a 3-0 victory that leaves Santos on the verge of salvation - put him back at the center of the media spotlight. The striker reached 150 goals in the Peixe shirt and left the field to applause, even from the opposing fans. This is in perfect contrast to the noise surrounding his immediate future. The question resurfaces every time he appears in front of the microphones, and this time was no different. With one matchday to go and survival practically in the bag, the former Barcelona and PSG player again dodged the question when asked for a clear answer on what he will do when the championship comes to an end. Neymar's hat trick lifts Santos away from the relegation zone A talk with no clear answer "Will next week's match be your last with Santos?" he was asked from the mixed zone. "I don't know, I honestly don't know. First I want to focus on finishing the season and then we'll see," he said, without opening or closing any doors. https://twitter.com/USER_ID/status/1996565277325304256 The journalistic insistence did not deactivate his discretion. He only dropped a phrase that, far from clearing up doubts, keeps the intrigue alive: "Santos will always be my first option". A statement full of nostalgia and, at the same time, insufficient to know his destiny. Neymar, more decisive than ever on the pitch, seems to enjoy a different role off it: that of master of suspense. His future, like his dribbling, remains impossible to predict.
