The collaboration between Riyadh's "Al Hilal" and Neymar has ended. He is expected to return to the "Santos" team soon.

"Al Hilal" officially terminated the Brazilian's enormous contract. This move was made by mutual agreement.

Neymar's salary at the "Al Hilal" club reached approximately 80 million euros, and in total, he earned over 100 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world.

The Riyadh club paid 90 million euros to PSG for this forward in the summer of 2023. After that, he suffered a serious knee injury, which significantly limited his contribution to the club's success.
