Breaking point between Al-Hilal and Neymar. Still injured, the Brazilian could see his colossal contract be terminated by his managers in January.
A little tour and then it's gone. Barely back from a serious knee injury, Neymar was injured again. In the Asian Champions League against Esteghlal Tehran, the Brazilian who came on 30 minutes earlier was unable to finish the match. If a priori it is not a new long injury, it is undoubtedly one blow too many for his club.
“I had a cramp, but it was very strong! I'm going to take some exams and I hope it's nothing more. It's normal that this happens after a year, the doctors had already warned me, that's why I have to be careful and have more minutes to play.”confided the Brazilian. According to the first examinations he should miss two to three weeks of competition.
An exorbitant price for an absent player
According to UOL Esporte, the leaders of the Saudi club would like to terminate the player's contract in January. Everything is not yet final, the positive development or not of the player in the coming weeks could tip the scales one way or the other. As a reminder, Neymar has missed 87% of the club's matches since his arrival, for one goal and 2 assists. This is too little given the price paid to secure his services (90 million euros in the summer of 2023) and his salary of 160 million euros per season. In addition, the former Parisian blocks a place in the squad reserved for foreign players.
The break could be done by mutual agreement, Neymar has not hidden his desire to return to Brazil to perhaps finish his career at Santos.
