Neymar's time in the Saudi Arabian league has come to an end after 17 months riddled with injuries and underperformance. Al-Hilal confirmed his contract termination due to Neymar's struggles with physical health, particularly after a serious ACL injury. During his tenure, he played only seven games, scoring once despite a hefty $100 million yearly salary. Following his exit, Santos announced his return to the club where he began his professional career, exciting fans in Brazil who awaited his homecoming. Neymar expressed gratitude to Al-Hilal's fans and team for their support during his difficult phase.
"I gave everything to play and I wish we enjoyed better times on the pitch together."
"It is time to come back," wrote Marcelo Teixeira, confirming what Brazilian soccer fans and media had been suspecting."
