Brazilian star Neymar has officially parted ways with Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, with both parties agreeing to terminate his contract after roughly a year and a half at the club.
Al Hilal announced the news on their official social media account, expressing gratitude to Neymar for his time with the team and wishing him success in his future endeavors.
The statement read:
“The club has reached an agreement with Neymar Jr. to terminate his contract by mutual consent. We thank Neymar for his contributions and wish him all the best in his football journey.”
A Brief Stint at Al Hilal
Neymar joined Al Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain in a record-breaking transfer that sparked significant attention. However, his time in Saudi Arabia was marred by persistent injuries that prevented him from delivering his trademark performances.
Reports in recent weeks had linked Neymar with a return to his boyhood club, Santos, in Brazil. Rumors suggested the player was willing to accept a substantial pay cut to facilitate the move.
What’s Next for Neymar?
The mutual termination of his contract, which was initially set to run until the end of the current season, now allows Neymar to join any club as a free agent immediately.
This decision marks the end of a short but eventful chapter in Neymar’s career, and fans will be watching closely to see where the 31-year-old star heads next.
