One of the most prominent names in modern football Brazilian superstar Neymar, who is currently not enjoying his time at Al Hilal due to one major reason, and that is injuries that are hindering his form. Arrived in Saudi Arabia in August 2023. However, since then, Neymar has played just seven games for his current club, and it seems like his playing days may be limited. Neymar joined the Saudi club when Saudi Pro League champions, or rather the most successful team, Al Hilal, signed him for a staggering £95 million, which created a huge reputation for the star player worldwide. However, as mentioned above, he has not been able to justify the price tag so far. If we look at the money Neymar is receiving, it’s enough to shock you, as the amount is extremely hefty.

Will Neymar leave Al Hilal?
If the reports are to be trusted, it looks true that Al Hilal is looking to terminate Neymar’s contract in January 2025 in a mutual agreement to ease their wage burden. Currently dealing with multiple injuries, there is a chance that Neymar will return to the club where it all began for him—Santos. The Brazilian side has reportedly agreed to a deal to bring Neymar Junior back in 2025.
Even the club’s executive director, Calves, himself said that they are excited to see how things go and are confident we will see Neymar playing for Santos soon.
