Philippe Coutinho joins Santos on short-term deal

Overview

Santos FC has finalized the signing of 34-year-old midfielder Philippe Coutinho on a short-term contract that will last until the end of the 2026 season. The deal follows Coutinho’s period of inactivity after rescinding his contract with Vasco da Gama in February to focus on his mental health.

The transfer was heavily facilitated by Neymar, acting as a key intermediary through NR Sports to reunite the former national teammates. The short-term nature of the agreement is viewed as a low-risk arrangement for Santos, providing the club with an experienced technical leader for the remainder of the season, including the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa Sudamericana.

As previously planned, the club’s coaching staff intends to implement a physical reconditioning period to address Coutinho’s seven-month absence from competitive play. His arrival adds to recent reinforcements for Santos, including Arthur, Rodinei, Lima, and Everton Cebolinha.
