Neymar set to partner Morelos under former Rangers manager

Brazilian superstar Neymar is set to partner Alfredo Morelos under former Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha at Brazilian club Santos.

Renowned transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports on X that the 32-year-old is closing in on an emotional return to his former team on loan from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal.
