Andres Rueda, current president of Brazilian club Santos, has claimed that he will try to sign Neymar this transfer window. The Brazilian footballer is looking for a way out of PSG.

In recent days, the French media have predicted that Neymar is going to leave PSG during this transfer window. The club's new model, which was suggested by Kylian Mbappe, has no time for ill-disciplined players and so, the Brazilian will not be continuing at the Parc de Princes.

'El Pais' have reported that the Parisian club have proposed an agreement to the ex Barcelona player's father in order to reach some sort of agreement. The two parties will work together in finding the footballer a suitable destination. The idea of him being sent out on loan and PSG continuing to pay his wages, has not been dismissed.

Due to this situation, Andres Rueda, Santos president, has come to the fore and expressed his interest in Neymar with the rest of the board at the club: "Questioning or thinking that we're not going to do anything about Neymar is quite innocent. But the press isn't a place where we're going to talk about it, there are other ways of doing it".

"Here, in the Deliberative Council, unfortunately we can't comment on a lot. We have a strategy. With the board, we have some ideas about this", said the lead director of Santos in comments for 'A Tribuna'.

The Brazilian club are excited about the possibility of a Neymar return in the midst of his PSG difficulties. However, English clubs are also gearing up to sign him. One will have to wait and see how this story develops.
