Neymar's contract with Al Hilal club only expires in June 2025. However, the Saudi Arabian team will likely not continue to sign a new contract as the 32-year-old striker has only played 7 matches in the past year.
Currently, Neymar is receiving a salary of 110 million USD/year. This is considered a huge number compared to the Brazilian star's small contributions to Al Hilal.
Speaking on the Roundcast podcast, Santos (Neymar's father) said: "We'll see what happens and how Neymar will really feel. He will be free to decide. It's a gift for a 32-year-old to have freedom."
In October 2023, Neymar had to take a long break after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee. This is the most serious injury of this striker's career.
The 32-year-old then suffered a thigh injury when he returned to the pitch, which has left the Brazilian star's form unstable.
In early November, news of Neymar returning to his hometown of Santos to play football spread. But his father insisted he knew nothing about these rumors.
Throughout his career, Neymar has scored 136 goals for Santos, 105 goals for Barcelona, 118 goals for PSG and a record 79 goals for the Brazilian national team.
But after signing a contract with Al Hilal in July 2023, the 32-year-old striker has only played 7 matches and scored 1 goal. Al Hilal had to pay a transfer fee of 98 million USD to PSG and a salary of 110 million USD per year - 2 records in the history of the club.
