Neymar's future at Santos has been put heavily in doubt after a reported confrontation in the locker room with club youngsters Gabriel Bontempo and Joao Ananias in the last game against Chapecoense. Neymar has rejoined Santos following his 2026 World Cup run with Brazil, but his long-term standing with O Peixe is once again on shaky ground. Following reports of a heated locker-room altercation with young teammates Gabriel Bontempo and Joao Ananias, serious doubts have re-emerged surrounding his future at the club. In the days leading up to his return to action, Neymar raised eyebrows by attending the BSOP Winter poker tournament, the fourth leg of the 2026 Brazilian Poker Championship, while Santos was in Venezuela facing UCV in the Copa Sudamericana. The Brazilian superstar fired back against public criticism over his absence, but the incident reportedly left a sour taste among his teammates. According to Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte, tensions boiled over Saturday during a match against Chapecoense, where Neymar berated youngsters Bontempo and Ananias in the dressing room following a disappointing draw. His behavior at halftime and after the final whistle at Vila Belmiro frustrated players, coaching staff, and Santos front-office executives alike. Things initially started bright for Santos, with Neymar opening the scoring in the 36th minute after a crisp team buildup, celebrating by mimicking a card dealer shuffling a deck. However, Santos collapsed early in the second half, conceding two goals in a 10-minute span before Neymar salvaged a draw late in the match by converting a penalty. Neymar Junior of Santos celebrates after scoring against Chapecoense. According to Globo Esporte, Neymar took an overly sharp tone when criticizing midfielder Bontempo and center-back Ananias, directly questioning the skill level of the young defender, who scored an own goal during the second-half collapse. Through his PR team, Bontempo downplayed the rift, describing it as a standard halftime team dressing-down rather than a targeted personal attack. Ananias also released a statement denying any direct confrontation with Neymar, though he confirmed a team-wide reprimand took place. The incident follows another recent training-ground clash where Neymar slapped teammate Robinho Jr., an episode for which the former Barcelona star later issued a public apology. Neymar and Santos reach a breaking point Neymar’s homecoming to Santos in February 2025 was pitched as a win-win: the forward would stay match-fit for Brazil’s 2026 World Cup campaign, while the club reaped major sponsorship deals and star power on the pitch. But the partnership has proven turbulent, with both sides growing increasingly dissatisfied. Santos management remains unhappy with Neymar’s leadership style and his treatment of younger players. That frustration was exacerbated by his appearance at the poker event on the very night Santos kicked off its South American cup fixture. Neymar, meanwhile, has voiced frustration with the club’s infrastructure and what he perceives as a lack of media protection at the CT Rei Pele training facility. Despite funding ongoing upgrades to the facility himself, Neymar and his father have openly questioned the quality of Santos’ roster as the club fights a relegation battle for the second straight year.

To make matters worse, Globo Esporte reports that Santos owes Neymar over R$ 90 million ($17.5M USD) in unpaid debts, having fallen up to three months behind on image-rights payments this year. With the 34-year-old under contract through late 2026, a contract extension is now considered highly unlikely by both camps.
The Brazilian star found himself at the center of debate following his decision to spend part of his day off at the event, but he has now addressed the controversy directly with a pointed question. Neymar has responded strongly after facing criticism over his appearance at a poker tournament while Santos was competing in the Copa Sudamericana. The Brazilian star found himself at the center of debate following his decision to spend part of his day off at the event, but he has now addressed the controversy directly with a pointed question. The former Brazil international, who recently stepped away from international action after the 2026 World Cup, insisted that his commitment to the club has never been in doubt. He argued that the criticism ignored the work he had already put in behind the scenes as he continued rebuilding his fitness following the tournament. The controversy began after the 34-year-old was seen participating in the BSOP Winter poker tournament while Santos prepared for a Copa Sudamericana playoff match against Universidad Central in Venezuela. Since he had only recently returned from his post-World Cup break and was following a personalized fitness program, the coaching staff decided not to include him in the traveling squad. Photos from the poker event quickly spread across social media, leading many supporters and commentators to question the 34-year-old’s priorities. Critics argued that a senior figure should have remained closer to the squad despite not being selected for the match. According to reports, Neymar had already completed a morning training session before attending the tournament. The following day, he was back at the club’s training center as scheduled. The question that silenced the debate Neymar eventually decided to answer the criticism himself through a video recorded at the Santos training facility. While preparing for another gym session, he explained the sequence of events before delivering the remark that became the biggest talking point. “I was here getting ready for my second training session, and I remembered that during my day off, a lot of people were talking about me playing poker and all that.” The Brazilian then reminded supporters that his training schedule had not been interrupted. “I trained in the morning, I didn’t go to the match because I had just returned to training, and the next day I was already off.” He then posed the pointed question that immediately attracted attention: “Can I train, or are you going to keep criticizing me? Mind your own business.” Recovery remains the priority Neymar emphasized that attending the poker tournament did not interfere with his recovery process. He completed his scheduled workout before the event and continued training afterward as Santos gradually reintegrated him into full team activities. Club manager Cuca has carefully managed the veteran forward’s workload following the World Cup. Instead of rushing him back into competitive action, Santos has focused on restoring his match fitness through individual sessions before returning him to regular competition. The club believes this measured approach will help Neymar contribute consistently during the remainder of the domestic campaign.
