The future of Neymar in Saudi football appears increasingly uncertain, especially after former Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus began planning for Al Hilal without the Brazilian forward. With a contract running until June 2025, Neymar, who has been plagued by a series of injuries, may find the path clear for a return to Brazilian football as early as next year.
After nearly a year away from the pitch due to a serious knee injury, Neymar made his return but soon faced another setback: a muscle injury in his right thigh. This latest issue will see the player sidelined until 2025, a period during which Jorge Jesus is already projecting the team without the number 10.
Additionally, Al Hilal’s management is exploring the possibility of amicably terminating Neymar’s contract, which would allow him to reassess his future.
Neymar’s situation at Al Hilal is far from ideal, not only due to the recent injury but also because of the player’s dissatisfaction with life in Saudi Arabia.

As a result, a return to Brazil in 2025 cannot be ruled out. Neymar has made it clear on several occasions that he intends to conclude his career in Brazilian football, where he began his journey before shining at Barcelona and PSG.
During a visit to Rio de Janeiro in June, Neymar, already in recovery, donned the Flamengo jersey and watched the Rubro-Negro’s match against Grêmio at Maracanã. The sight sparked speculation about a potential move to the Rio club.
When asked about the possibility of signing Neymar, Flamengo’s vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, stated: “Any player of his stature would be welcome here. Neymar has a long contract where he is. I think it’s quite crazy to think about this signing at this moment,” said the official.
It is worth noting that despite Braz’s words, a return for Neymar to Brazil is not entirely improbable, especially if the player departs from Al Hilal before the end of his contract.
