Neymar anticipates Santos announcement and 'confirms' Philippe Coutinho as new signing

oglobo12 September 2026 at 17:28

Philippe Coutinho, 34, is the new signing for Santos. The midfielder underwent medical exams and will sign a contract with the club until the end of the year. The signing had not yet been officially announced when Neymar recorded a special moment in the locker room.

Neymar received Coutinho in the Santos locker room and posted the encounter on social media before the official announcement. In the video, the number 10 appears hugging his former Brazilian National Team teammate and celebrating the arrival. Neymar said: "My God in heaven, if this is a dream, I don't want to wake up. Welcome! Be happy. I came to hug you and take care of you".

Coutinho's arrival brings together once again two players who were part of the Brazilian National Team generation. The two now share the Santos locker room, the club where Neymar also plays.

Why this matters

For Santos fans, the arrival of Coutinho represents a significant addition that, combined with Neymar's presence, can elevate the team's level. The move is also relevant for the Brazilian football market, which sees two national team players reunited at the same club. Neymar's anticipation on social media generates expectations about Santos's financial power to keep high-profile names in the squad.
