Neymar insisted that he gave “everything to play” for Al-Hilal, although he ended with the Saudi Arabian club after only seven games.
In August 2023, the Brazil striker from Paris Saint-Germain entered into a deal worth £ 77 million to Al-Hilal and approved a reported salary of 129 million GBP per year.
However, a knee injury was played in his Saudi career for his country in a World Cup qualification game against Uruguay.
However, he returned in November, but struggled to achieve an effect, and his deal was ended last night of mutual approval.

The 32-year-old is generally expected to return to the Santos boys’ club in his homeland in Brazil. Neymar made over 150 appearances for Santos before he came to Barcelona in 2013.
In a farewell message to the Al-Hilal fans, Neymar wrote about X: “To everyone at Al-Hilal, to the fans, thank you !!
