Part 3/7:
The implications of the "Neymar Effect" extends beyond individual player sentiments. The club, previously burdened by a second-tier status and poor administrative decisions, anticipates a resurgence in support from its fanbase. The potential arrival of Neymar could stimulate heightened attendance at matches, buoyed merchandise sales, and ultimately, an invigorated atmosphere around the club.
Notably, the desire from other clubs—such as Chelsea seeking to loan David Washington back to Santos—demonstrates a wider interest driven by the prospect of Neymar's presence. This ripple effect underscores a shift in how players might perceive Santos as an attractive destination, spurred by the potential allure of playing alongside a legendary figure.
