Paris Saint-Germain attacker Neymar reveals that he wants to re-join Santos when he decides to end his stint in the French capital.

Paris Saint-Germain attacker Neymar has revealed that he wants to return to boyhood club Santos when his stint in the French capital ends.

The 30-year-old rose through the ranks at the Brazilian outfit and registered 70 goals and 35 assists in 134 games for the club before his transfer to Barcelona in the summer of 2013.

Neymar's existing deal at PSG runs until the end of the 2024-25 season with the option of a further year, but the Brazil international has confirmed that he intends to pull on the Santos jersey again, as well as a possible stint in MLS.

Speaking on the Fenomenos podcast with Brazil legend Ronaldo, Neymar said: "I really want to play for Santos again. What I really miss is playing in the town. My God, that stadium is wonderful.

"I also really want to play in the United States, at least one season... It's a short championship; you have three or four months of vacation!"

Neymar scooped the 2010-11 Copa Libertadores with Santos and has gone on to win the Champions League, two La Liga titles and three Ligue 1 crowns with Barcelona and PSG.

The attacker has 91 goals and 56 assists from 132 games in a PSG shirt but produced a terrible penalty miss during Saturday's 3-1 Ligue 1 defeat to Nantes.
