Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Neymar and Al-Hilal Part Ways as Star Eyes Return to Santos
Caption: Neymar and Al-Hilal Part Ways as Star Eyes Return to Santos. Neymar and Al-Hilal have mutually agreed to terminate the player’s contract, the club announced on Monday. Neymar, who joined Al-Hilal in August 2023 for €90 million, made just seven appearances due to injuries. A ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in October 2023 kept Neymar sidelined for nearly a year, limiting his contributions to one goal and two assists. The Saudi club expressed gratitude for Neymar’s contributions and wished him success in his future endeavors. Neymar is widely expected to return to his boyhood club Santos, where his career began and where he achieved early success. Neymar left Santos in 2013 as a prodigy, winning the Copa Libertadores in 2011 before joining Barcelona and forming the iconic ‘MSN’ trio. Neymar became the world’s most expensive player in 2017, moving to PSG for $263 million and winning five league titles with the French club. Neymar joined the Saudi league as a marquee signing but was unable to replicate his earlier career success due to injuries. Santos, newly promoted to Serie A after winning the 2024 Serie B, could finalize Neymar’s return as early as this week. The Seleção’s all-time leading scorer looks to reignite his career at the club where it all began, bringing experience and star power to Santos.
