Neymar sends a message to Ancelotti: ‘I hope to be in Brazil's squad’

Neymar has publicly reaffirmed his ambition to rejoin the Brazilian national team, expressing hope that Carlo Ancelotti will consider him for upcoming selections. The forward said representing Brazil remains a lifelong dream, though he stressed full respect for the coaching staff’s decisions as he works to regain peak fitness and form after his injury‑hit spell. Neymar noted he will give everything if included, but if left out, he will continue supporting the Seleção as a fan, insisting national pride extends beyond being on the pitch.

His comments arrive as anticipation builds for Brazil’s squad announcement ahead of friendlies against France and Croatia. Questions persist about his international future following a long absence, while Ancelotti evaluates his attacking options for the months ahead. With the World Cup approaching, Neymar’s desire to return adds intrigue to Brazil’s evolving plans under their new coach.
