Neymar and Al Hilal End Contract by Mutual Consent
Neymar and Al-Hilal Mutually Agree to End Contractual Relationship
Contract Termination Details
Al-Hilal announced today, Tuesday, that they have reached a mutual agreement with Neymar to terminate their contractual relationship with immediate effect.
Neymar’s Tenure at Al-Hilal
Neymar joined Al-Hilal in August 2023 from Paris Saint-Germain in a two-season deal.
Brief but Unfruitful Spell
Neymar appeared in only seven games for the club, scoring one goal and providing three assists, before being forced to withdraw due to a serious injury sustained during a match for Brazil against Uruguay in October 2023.
Replacement and Limited Appearances
Following his recovery, Neymar made a limited return to action for Al-Hilal, appearing in only one match for the club. His injury-plagued stint culminated in his name being dropped from the squad in January 2024.
Renan Lodi’s Arrival
As a replacement, the club brought in Brazilian left-back Renan Lodi, who has since become a regular member of the squad.
Injury Problems
Neymar suffered a second serious injury in November, when he was forced to miss four to six weeks with a back muscle tear.
Conclusion
The contractual termination marks an unsuccessful chapter for both Neymar and Al-Hilal, who had high expectations when the Brazilian star joined the club. The premature end to their partnership reflects the challenges and uncertainties that can come with elite-level football.
