Overview
- Mauricio “Chicho” Serna, a former Boca football executive, said Tuesday that an intermediary offered Neymar before the 2025 Club World Cup, but the approach never became a negotiation.
- Neymar visited Buenos Aires last week, worked out at Boca’s training site, reunited with Ander Herrera, and received a Boca jersey from club president Juan Román Riquelme.
- Boca-facing reports say there are no discussions or formal steps under way to sign the Brazilian forward at this time.
- The 34-year-old remains under contract with Santos through December 2026, a deal that would govern any move and influence his push for a Brazil call-up.
- Captain Leandro Paredes said he talks often with Neymar and would welcome him for the Copa Libertadores, as foreign outlets report the player felt valued in Argentina and faces a rough spell at Santos and with national-team prospects.
