What Neymar is saying about the transfer rumours
Neymar Jr suffered an ACL injury shortly after leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal. The Brazilian star managed to play only five matches for them in total. However, the Riyadh club won three titles including the Saudi League without him. While he is rehabilitating from an injury at Al Hilal, rumors of a transfer have been rife. Neymar dismissed that possibility.
The Brazilian is the biggest star to go to the Saudi league after Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. However, his move to Saudi while still old enough to play for a European club was not less discussed-criticized. But that's not how the club got Neymar. In between, he can join his childhood Brazilian club Santos or Lionel Messi's club Inter Miami. The former Barcelona and PSG forward referred to it as a 'complete lie'.
The news came out that the Messi-Neymar reunion could happen in Miami at a very attractive price. Where some of their teammates are already playing. In addition, Neymar himself expressed his desire to return to Santos. Which people make two by two into four. Neymar said to ESPN, "What is being said is completely false, no such plan has been made." I still have a one-year contract with Al Hilal and I hope to have a great season here.'
"It's true that Santos is my favorite team and I intend to go back there one day. But I haven't made any plans yet. Now my main focus is on Al Hilal', added the Brazilian superstar. Neymar is also doing rehabilitation work from Al Hilal's camp. In recent times, he has also been seen celebrating with his teammates on the podium when the club won the title. Although almost the entire first season was spent outside the field, he wants to wear the team's jersey the next season.
Before this, Neymar was welcomed by the club in Riyadh. But in October 2023, he suffered a serious injury in the World Cup qualifying match for Brazil. Then he was knocked out for the entire season. Even the five-time world champions will have to play without him in the upcoming Copa America. Neymar's Al Hilal beat Ronaldo's side Al Nasr to win the Saudi King's Cup title a few days ago. He enjoyed the match sitting in the gallery.
It should be noted that Neymar came to the attention of European clubs by showing talent at Santos. He then joined Spanish giants Barcelona. There, he created a formidable attack-pair with Messi. With the arrival of Luis Suarez at one stage, the MNS-trio became a nightmare for any opponent. Later, Neymar joined PSG in a record breaking transfer market. In 2022, Argentine superstar Messi teamed up with the Brazilian again. Last summer's transfer ended with Neymar joining Saudi Arabia and Messi joining American soccer.
