Not to mention that Neymar is still immature, getting red cards for nothing... even though he is the main hope of the Santos club.

This is one of the things I find most absurd, not just with Neymar but with all great players
They lose their heads easily, and have often damaged the Brazilian national team (or their clubs) with their immaturity.

Neymar is done, that’s the reality. He’s already 33 years old, and I think the only thing he could do to play well again is to change his position on the field and play more as a center forward, just like Ronaldo Nazário did after his knee injuries. But I also believe Neymar himself is probably tired of the athlete lifestyle and is just trying to secure the last big paycheck from a professional football contract. It’s a shame… he was the last great Brazilian player, but he got lost in himself.

You know you've given an excellent idea
If Neymar changed his position to a more centralized and advanced striker he could do well
He would have to run less, would probably suffer fewer fouls, would score more goals and could play better, just like Ronaldo did in Corinthians

I honestly wonder what exactly Santos is gaining by signing Neymar? Because they know very well that Neymar is very prone to injuries, so they signed him knowing this, so I don't believe they get upset every time Neymar gets injured. So what exactly is Santos gaining by keeping Neymar?

I read that Santos saw this opportunity as a way to recover the club financially. Neymar is very popular, so he attracts advertising companies, so Santos receives revenue from sponsorships and I heard that with Neymar's presence this revenue doubled. I don't know to what extent this is true, because it seems to me that Neymar earns a high salary.
