The future of Neymar jr. appears to be marked. The words spoken by Jorge Jesus after the nine goals scored by Al Hilal against Al Fateh they are a sentence and also quite clear: “He will not be included in the squad called up for the championship, he can only participate in the Asian Champions League. The Saudi Pro League is one of the best championships in the world and all Al Hilal players can play for any club in Europe. Neymar can no longer play at the level we are used to. Things have become difficult for him, unfortunately,” said the Portuguese coach.
He continued: “He is still under contract with Al Hilal and perhaps it is up to him to decide his future. It depends on the club, I don’t know anything about Neymar’s future. We have a place available in the list, reserved for a player born since 2003 onwards. We are currently looking for a winger to fill this position. Salah or other big names will not arrive this winter, but perhaps in the summer.”
The former PSG and Barcelona player, therefore, was practically invited to pack his bags and leave the club that had welcomed him like a divinity in the summer of 2023. Neymar’s Asian adventure has been conditioned by many injuries and now he could start again from the USA: the Inter Miami dream is over, it is Chicago that has made concrete steps forward in the last few hours to sign him.
