Neymar's father spoke in Brazil about the uncertain future of his son, currently injured and at the end of his contract at Al-Hilal next summer, and also returned to his transfer to PSG in the summer of 2017.
Returning from a serious left knee injury at the end of October before injuring himself again, Neymar is not expected to play again with Al-Hilal before 2025 and the Saudi press recently speculated on a possible termination of his lucrative contract, which expires in June 2025 with an additional year optional.
“We have never been so free to decide where we want to go”
In the Roundcast podcast, Neymar's father spoke at length and discussed his son's future: “We are waiting to see what will happen, how Neymar really feels. He will be free to decide. We have never been so free to decide where we want to go. And for me to have a free 32-year-old in my hands is a gift for any agent.”.
Neymar Pai also explained that he had never made a career plan for his son, except one, that of joining Barça. “We never made a plan. The only plan we ever made was to go to Barcelona. The rest… PSG was a crazy thing, which turned into a whirlwind, and all of a sudden, he was gone there. Same with Al Hilal. Things happened like this. »
“Neymar always comes back better than he was”
While rumors are sending his son to Inter Miami or Santos, Neymar Pai is confident about his son's future: “Neymar has a contract until 2025. We don’t know anything. I see the speculation and we are starting to prepare for it. I know the market is waiting to see how it will come back. But he always comes back better than he was. And it won't be any different. »
And Neymar Pai also thinks that Al-Hilal's participation in the next Club World Cup will encourage the Saudi club to want to keep his son for one more year: “What is Al-Hilal’s biggest project? The World Cup is the most important thing. There will be all the clubs and Al-Hilal will be present in this competition. They already have one of the biggest stars they could have playing there. An experienced player in this type of competition. This is why they did not give up the second year of Neymar's contract. »
