Long gone are the days when Neymar jr. he was one of the best players on the planet. The Brazilian striker, now 32 years old, is enjoying a rich retirement in Saudi Arabia but is struggling with many physical problems. Having returned a few weeks ago after more than a year out due to the serious knee injury he suffered with the national team in 2023, the former Barcelona and PSG player stopped again and some believe that his adventure with Al-Hilal has reached the end end credits.
Having landed in Riyadh in the summer of 2023, the star played only 7 games with his new team and obviously failed to leave his mark, while Milinkovic-Savic and his teammates dominated at home without him. Now the rumors of a farewell in January and a possible return to Santos, where it all began, are becoming insistent.
Pini Zahavi, the player’s agent, however, categorically denied it: “There are no discussions about Neymar’s departure from Saudi Arabia. He is under contract and is happy there. Neymar’s father and I are the only ones who can talk about the Ney’s future. I don’t know where these recent rumors come from,” he told journalist Fabrizio Romano.
