When Neymar left Paris Saint-Germain for Al-Hilal in 2023, it signaled the end of his career at the highest level.
His time in Saudi Arabia was a disaster, as injuries meant he made just seven appearances for Al-Hilal before moving to Santos.
Back at Santos, staying fully fit has still been an issue for Neymar. This year, he has played just 15 games in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, scoring three goals.
His contract with the Brazilian club expires at the end of December, but it is unclear where his next destination will be.
Neymar has been linked with Inter Miami, where he would be reunited with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
The team that is co-owned by Sir David Beckham will be keen to add more star names to their squad, with Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets retiring at the end of the current MLS season.
Neymar still has ambitions of playing for Brazil at the World Cup next year. This is despite him not playing for the Selecao for two years.
If Neymar is to force his way back into consideration for Carlo Ancelotti's side, then ideally, he needs to be playing at the highest level.
According to Fichajes (translated from Spanish), "Napoli, the reigning (Serie A) champions, are looking to maintain their status in Italy and strengthen their squad to continue competing in Europe. Neymar's arrival would be a coup both sportingly and commercially.
"In the case of Inter Milan, the possibility also exists, especially if the Lombard team decides to strengthen its attacking side for the second half of the season."
Will Napoli or Inter Milan take a chance on Neymar?
Due to Neymar's current injury record, it will be a huge gamble for any team to take a chance on the forward.
He was once one of the most exciting players to watch, but since leaving PSG, his time on the pitch has been severely limited.
It would be exciting to see him link up with Kevin De Bruyne for Napoli. However, he may not fit into Antonio Conte's disciplined style of play.
Inter are currently trailing Napoli by three points in Serie A, so signing Neymar could be a huge boost in closing them down in the title race.
