The entity assured that it was the two parties that decided to terminate the contract of mutual agreement and thanked Neymar, who will turn 33 this February, with a message in Portuguese: “Thank you and good luck.”

Since then he had played only 7 games (428 minutes) in which he scored a goal and gave Three assists. At this time he won four title and only in 2024 a total of 101 million without playing was pocketed. A true ruin for the Saudi team.
The termination occurs at a time when the Brazilian press states that the player is close to closing an agreement to dress the Brazilian Santos shirt, a club in which it was formed before making the leap to Europe, where Messi would meet Messi .
Jorge Jesús did not have the Saudi League
On the 10 of the Brazilian team he had a contract in force until the middle of the year, but has decided to end his adventure in Arabic football after Al Hilal coach, the Portuguese Jorge Jesús, will not have him for the Saudi league.
And it is that Neymar has been practically without playing for more than a year. On October 17, 2023, he suffered the breakage of the anterior cross ligament and the left knee meniscus in a match between Brazil and Uruguay, in Montevideo.
He reappeared on October 21, 2024 in a meeting of the Asian Champions League. However, a few days later, he had a muscle injury that forced him to stop again.
