In recent hours, rumors have increased about Neymar’s future, as international media outlets indicate that the Brazilian international will leave Al Hilal at the end of the current season.
So far, the Brazilian has only played 6 matches over the course of a year in Al Hilal after joining from Paris Saint-Germain for 90 million euros in the summer of 2023.
The severe injury that the Brazilian suffered in October 2023 with his country caused him to be absent for a year, and he has finally started to return to matches, but rumors do not stop chasing him.
Santos Vice President: Neymar will return to us next year
The controversy began with Santos Vice President Osvaldo Nico, who announced that Neymar will return to his parent club next summer.
Nico said in statements reported by the newspaper AS, “We have made contact with Neymar and he will return to Santos again next summer after the end of his contract with Al Hilal.”
Neymar began his career with Santos, and his stardom rose from 2009 until he moved to Barcelona in a record deal in 2013.

Will Neymar move to Inter Miami?
At the same time, other news emerged from American newspapers that Neymar will move to Inter Miami and play alongside Lionel Messi for the third time in his career.
This news was based on Neymar buying a large plot of land in Miami that he intends to turn into a palace, which clearly indicates that he intends to live in the American city for a long time.
Inter Miami coach Tata Martino responded to this sarcastically by saying, “If everyone who buys a house in Miami joins Inter Miami, we will have a real problem, and they will have to close the real estate market.”
Al-Hilal has not made its decision regarding Neymar yet
It remains to be noted that the Al-Hilal administration has not yet made its final decision regarding Neymar’s future, and has not begun negotiations to renew with him.
Some sources say that Al Hilal is frustrated with Neymar and what he is offering and is seeking to sell him even next winter amid negotiations with Inter Miami, while others say that the management has decided to wait to see him after the injury and then decide his fate once and for all.
As for the player, he has not made any statements revealing what he is planning, although it has been said that he aspires to return to Europe, but there is no club that can currently pay his salary in the old continent, especially after he reached the age of 32.
