Neymar's Contract with Al-Hilal Terminated After Injury-Plagued Stint

The Brazilian star played only seven matches for the Saudi club, scoring once, and is now exploring a potential return to Santos or Europe ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Neymar joined Al-Hilal in August 2023 from PSG for €90 million but struggled with injuries, limiting him to seven appearances and one goal.
The player's time at Al-Hilal was marred by a severe knee injury and a subsequent hamstring relapse, sidelining him for most of his tenure.
Al-Hilal and Neymar mutually agreed to terminate his contract, with the club paying €52 million to finalize the deal, a reduction from the original payout due.
Neymar expressed gratitude to Al-Hilal and Saudi Arabia, thanking fans and the country for their hospitality during his stay.
Now a free agent, Neymar is considering a return to his Brazilian club Santos or a move back to Europe, with the 2026 World Cup as his primary focus.
