Neymar back in Brazil? This was the shocking claim made by a Brazilian hacker about the Al-Hilal player.
On January 4, some people in Brazil believed it when a hacker took over Coritiba’s website and posted a fake announcement saying Neymar would join the club in July 2025 to help them return to Serie A. Coritiba is currently in Serie B, the second division of Brazilian football.
The fake statement read, “One of the best football players in the world will wear the coxa-branca jersey: Neymar is coming to lead Coritiba to Serie A.”
The hoax was quickly removed after the club’s technical team regained control of the website. The prank gained traction due to rumors about Neymar’s potential return to Brazil, fueled by his absence from Al-Hilal’s squad for the Saudi championship and ongoing concerns about his recurring injuries.
However, Neymar is more likely to sign with Inter Miami in the coming months, with a departure from Saudi Arabia appearing very probable.
