Neymar's camp have responded to sensational rumours claiming he is set to terminate his Al Hilal contract and complete a sensational next career move.

On Sunday, it was reported that Neymar was ready to end his nightmare stint in Saudi Arabia, where he has made just seven appearances after suffering an ACL injury which put him on the shelf for a year.

After returning from the lay-off, it was heartbreak for Neymar once again as he suffered a hamstring tear against Esteghlal FC and finds himself on the sidelines.

But Brazilian journalist Cesar Luis Merlo claimed that Neymar has been working on terminating his lucrative deal with Al Hilal, as well as reporting that a return to boyhood club Santos had been agreed.

The former Barcelona star came through the ranks at Santos and scored 107 goals for the club before moving to Europe to further his career.

Yet despite the club's president confirming there is interest, Neymar's agent Pini Zahavi has denied the rumours and says no discussions have taken place.

"There are no talks ongoing for Neymar to leave Al-Hilal," he said, as per Fabrizio Romano.

"He’s under contract and very happy there. Neymar’s father and me, we are the only people who can talk about Ney’s future. I don’t know where recent rumours are coming from”.

Santos recently suffered a shock relegation to the second tier of Brazilian football but have returned to the summit at the first time of asking after taking 68 points from 37 games.

The rumours about Neymar coming back a decade after leaving for Barcelona continue to swirl and Merlo, the source, is sticking by his reporting despite the response from Zahavi.

He stated: Neymar's agent publicly denies what Santos said. I stand by every word I have published. Thank God, in Brazil people know how I work. As has happened so many times, time will put things in their place."

Neymar joined Al Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain last year for a fee of £86.3 million and is expected to be out for another four to six weeks after his hamstring injury.
