He no longer plays in Saudi Arabia

At 32, Ney is having a complicated adventure at Al Hilal, which he joined in the summer of 2023 from PSG. Hampered by a serious knee injury which kept him away from the field for a year, the attacking midfielder only played seven matches in all competitions in Saudi Arabia (one goal, three assists).

If he “can no longer perform at the level” which notably allowed him to win the Champions League with Barça in 2015, Neymar was not registered in the team to play the championship, confirmed his coach Jorge Jesus . “He can participate in the (Asian) Champions League. He is still under contract with Al Hilal and it is perhaps up to him to decide his future. It depends on the leaders.”

In the event of a return, Neymar would return to the promised land at Santos, where he played 225 matches (136 goals, 64 assists) in five years.
