T he future of Neymar with the Brazilian national team is once again at the center of debate. The Brazilian striker sent a clear message about his desire to return to the national team, amid the decisions that coach Carlo Ancelotti will have to make ahead of the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. During a recent statement, Neymar openly admitted that h is biggest goal is to wear the Brazil shirt again and play in another World Cup.

The desire to return to the national team

The striker was blunt when talking about his situation with the national team and made it clear that his intention is to return.

Obviously, my desire is to return to the national team, to play in a World Cup, but that does not depend on me

However, he also acknowledged that the final decision is not in his hands . "It is up to the coaching staff to choose. And obviously, whether I'm there or not, I'm always going to support the national team," he added.

The decision is in the hands of the coach

With these words, Neymar hinted that his return will depend on the sporting project led by Ancelotti, who will have to define the list of players who will represent Brazil in the next World Cup cycle.

The striker knows that the competition within the national team is high, with a new generation of players looking to establish themselves in the national team.

The dream of another World Cup

If he manages to return to the team, Neymar would have the opportunity to play in another World Cup , possibly one of the last of his career.

Over the years, the Brazilian has been one of the most important figures in the national team, although the World Cup title is still the great unfinished business in his career.

For now, the message has already been sent: Neymar wants to return and hopes that the coaching staff will take him into account for the 2026 World Cup .
