Al-Hilal are reportedly considering terminating Neymar Jr’s contract in January, according to sources at @uolesporte. The Brazilian star’s future at the Saudi Arabian club has come into question following a series of underwhelming performances and a recent injury picked up in the AFC Champions League, just after returning from a long-term injury.
Neymar’s high-profile move from Paris Saint-Germain to Al-Hilal was expected to be a game-changer for the club, but the 31-year-old has struggled to make a consistent impact.
His latest setback in the AFC Champions League adds to concerns about his fitness and ability to stay healthy, having only recently returned from a lengthy period on the sidelines.
With Al-Hilal already facing disappointment in their attempts to fully integrate Neymar into their plans, reports suggest the club is now weighing the possibility of cutting ties with the Brazilian in January.
While there has been no official statement from the club, the speculation about a potential contract termination has sparked widespread discussion about Neymar’s future in Riyadh and his prospects for the rest of the season.
As the transfer window approaches, the situation remains fluid, and all eyes will be on whether Neymar can overcome his injury troubles and salvage his time at Al-Hilal or if the club will look to part ways with the star player.
