Philippe Coutinho has reunited with Neymar after signing a contract with Santos through to the end of the season.
Coutinho joins Neymar at Santos
Having played alongside Neymar at international level, Philippe Coutinho will now line up next to him domestically at Santos.
The former Barcelona and Liverpool playmaker has been without a club since February, having left boyhood club Vasco da Gama due to "mental exhaustion".
But Coutinho has now joined Santos on a free deal, linking up with childhood friend Neymar, who he played alongside at Brazil, including at the 2018 World Cup.
The 34-year-old had initially joined Vasco on loan from Aston Villa in 2024, before eventually joining them in a permanent deal the following year.
Coutinho made 81 appearances in total for Vasco, with 48 of those coming in Serie A, while he netted 17 goals.
In a video posted before Coutinho's move was made official by Santos, Neymar welcomed Coutinho to the club, saying: "Brother, we are so happy you're here.
"Our squad and our fans will embrace you so you can be happy. Welcome to Santos."
