Al-Hilal, Koulibaly out of the Champions League list: he will leave. Neymar inserted in his place

THE’Al-Hilal he decided to give one last chance to Neymar Junior. As reported by Brandthe Brazilian will be included in the winter list for the Asian Champions League in place of Kalidou Koulibalyformer Napoli and Chelsea defender, who will instead change direction. In fact, the Senegalese will conclude his experience in the Arab club by reaching an agreement for the consensual termination of his contract or by being loaned out until the end of the agreement, which will expire in 2026.

The decision was made by the club after executives felt Koulibaly’s performance was below expectations in the recent period. However, it remains very difficult for Neymar to renew, but in any case he will have another chance to demonstrate his full value.

Only a month ago, Kalidou Koulibaly expressed himself thus to SportMediaset: “I’m very well, we’re happy here, we’re all happy. Football is moving forward, we saw with Mr. Pioli, he’s very happy to be here because football is growing. If I go back to Italy? No, no, I’m fine here. I think my time in Serie A is over, I’ve done enough with Napoli, they’ve given me a lot and out of respect I don’t want to go back (to another club, ed.)”.
