Neymar has sacrificed a stunning £ 52 million to leave Saudi Arabia before they sign up for Boyhood Club Santos.
The former Barcelona star joined Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain for a record £ 77 million in 2023, but only made seven performances 18 months after a devastating ACL injury and further setbacks. Neymar was the biggest name to move to the Saudi Pro competition after Cristiano Ronaldo, but his time in the middle -east goes down as an overwhelming chapter in an complicated career.
At 32, the Brazilian now hopes his career at Santos, which he left for Barcelona in 2013 in his endeavor to become the best football player in the world. But his return home will not come without costs, because ESPN reports that in the mutual agreement to end his contract with Al-Hilal, Neymar will miss the chance to earn another £ 52 million in wages.
It is explained that the former captain of Brazil could come up with part of the shortage by making himself and his father part of an investment fund with shares in Santos. His return to the Brazilian giants has not been confirmed, but is expected to be announced in the coming days.
Al-Hilal, who won last season's Saudi Pro League last season in the long-term absence of Neymar, said in a statement on Monday: “The club expresses his thanks and appreciation to Neymar for what he was at Al-Hilal during his career has provided, and the player wishes success in his career.
Neymar remains the world's most expensive football player after his £ 200 million switch from Barcelona to PSG in 2017. He moved to Saudi Aarabia and claimed that he wanted to “write new sports history” before he tore his front cruciate ligament during Brazili's World Cup qualification match against Uruguay In October in October in October in October in October in October in October in October in October in October in October in October, 2023.
Despite the fact that he returned in October last October, Neymar has not played since his second game, in which he seemed to be tackling a hamstring injury. He came through the youth ranks in Santos and scored 136 goals in 225 games before signing for Barca, where he won the Treble in his second season.
Neymar wants to rediscover his form at Santos and earn back his place in the Brazilian team, which has been struggling so far to qualify for the World Cup 2026. “I will try. I want to be there. I will do everything to part to be the national team, “he recently told CNN.
“I know this is my last world cup, my last chance, my last chance and I will do everything to play in it.”
