The Al-Hilal football club led by the Saudi Pro League announced with Neymar Jr., a Brazilian football star that they agreed to cancel their existing contract on January 27, 2025. The Brazilian attacker Neymar moved to Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2023 through a deal estimated at €90 million for two years.
Neymar played only seven matches for Al-Hilal while he spent time there because he suffered multiple injuries. The team received just one goal and three assists from his playing time. During international duty, Neymar suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear which led to his inability to participate in the 2023-24 season. A hamstring problem limited his playing time when he returned to the field in October 2024.
Appointed: According to reports Neymar is finalizing a return to his childhood team Santos FC of Brazil after his contract termination. The contract negotiations between Neymar and Santos FC for his return to his early career club are advancing according to reports that detail individual payment terms.
Al Hilal bears a financial burden as Neymar left the club. Based on his limited match appearances Al Hilal reportedly spends a total of £10.5 million each time he takes to the field. Secondly, his early termination will cost Al Hilal a substantial amount from his current salary payments. According to recent reports, when Neymar wants to play for Santos again, he would need to forfeit £33.5 million.
The institution reflects Al-Hilal Football Club but also extends its message to the entire football community worldwide. Other football superstars are reportedly in Al-Hilal’s sights for squad strengthening as the club considers Mohamad Salah from Liverpool according to recent rumors. Al-Hilal’s strategic moves in the Saudi Pro League are observed by everyone across the league and outside of it.
Santos provides Neymar at age 33 the chance to restore his playing career in his childhood football environment. Football observers along with fans want to see if he’ll display the talent attributes that established him as a renowned international football star.
