Saudi Al-Hilal is in the process of suspending the agreement with the Brazilian national team winger Neymar, who is out of action until the end of the season due to injury.
This became known to the publication Arriyadiyah. Recall, in October, the 31-year-old Brazilian suffered a serious injury in a qualifying match for the World Cup-2026 against Uruguay (0:2). According to the results of medical examination Neymar was diagnosed with a torn meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament of the knee. According to Globo, the striker's recovery will take about ten months.
According to the source, the management of Al-Hilal is working to suspend the contract with the Brazilian. Thus, the club intends to make room in the application for the signing of a foreign player during the winter transfer window. Currently, the team has a maximum number of foreign players allowed.
Neymar became an Al-Hilal player in August 2023, moving from PSG for €90 million. In five matches for the Saudi club, the Brazilian winger scored a goal and made three assists. According to Transfermarkt website, Neymar is the most expensive footballer in the Saudi Arabian championship.
