In the summer of 2023, Paris Saint-Germain said goodbye to Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr., and a year later, Kylian Mbappé also left. The club is now focusing on young talent with potential, but so far, none of these players have reached the level of superstardom.
Neymar left PSG for Al-Hilal in a €90 million move to Saudi Arabia, but his time at the club hasn’t gone as planned. After suffering a cruciate ligament tear that sidelined him for an entire year, the Brazilian has now picked up another injury. This hamstring issue will keep him out for a while. As a result, Al-Hilal is reportedly considering a drastic move.
According to UOL, the Saudi club plans to terminate Neymar’s contract in January, hoping for an amicable resolution given his latest long-term injury. Santos FC is said to be monitoring the situation, with interest in bringing Neymar back to Brazil.
