Part 2/7:
As discussions about Neymar’s return heat up, many are questioning whether Santos can afford the star player. Commentators Ricardo Perroni and Renato Maurício Prado highlighted that while the focus often shifts to Neymar's physical condition and performance levels, the critical first inquiry should be about the financial viability of such a move for Santos.
Perroni emphasized the importance of understanding whether Santos can incorporate Neymar into their budget without exacerbating their existing financial struggles, which have been a significant concern. He recalled past marketing projects in Brazilian football that failed to meet their financial goals, noting only a few that succeeded, like Ronaldo's stint with Corinthians.
